Did Hamlet Not Love Ophelia
Hamlet Did not Love Ophelia
In the story of Hamlet, Hamlet has a weird relation for Ophelia. Their relationship will begin loving at first until Hamlet goes off on his tangents to make himself show that his love for Ophelia is a mere image. Hamlet does feel that he “loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up (his) sum.”(V.i. 270-272). The fact that Hamlet is saying this at Ophelia's funeral is showing that he may have once loved her, but during the play every interaction that he had with Ophelia starts as name calling, weird gestures, and goes as far as killing her father, forcing Ophelia into insanity which makes her commit the act of suicide.
