Hamlet

Once Hamlet discovers the cause of his father’s untimely death, he assumes the disposition of an insane man to cover up his true intentions of revenge. Although William Shakespeare may not have made it clear, I feel that Hamlet’s love for Ophelia was true. In conclusion, I feel that with time, Hamlet would have some his love for Ophelia. Ophelia later relates this meeting to her father, Polonius. It is to this challenge that Hamlet declares, "I loved Ophelia.

Ophelia lies to Hamlet, and doing the bidding of Polonius, and Claudius, Ophelia has re-established and built up Hamlet’s negative feelings towards women. His claims of love, and his horrible reaction to her rejection prove his love. Hamlet said this because he holds Ophelia in high regard, aside from the world he thinks of so poorly, he does not wish for her to become involved with it’s dangers and the people in it, therefore he feels she would remain fair and pure in a nunnery. It is Ophelia’s funeral, and Hamlet confronts Laertes, her brother, he questions their love for each other. This scene comes shortly after Hamlet learns of his late father’s murder.
