Among the most difficult themes in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the question of whether or not he really loved Ophelia. Was there a place in a broken heart for a roller coaster ride called love? Or was his heart broken by those whom he most trusted and loved? Throughout the story, the hamlet is immersed in grief and mourning, constantly pushed to its limits. The village sends Ophelia mixed signals that confuse her, questioning whether his feelings were genuine. Was the village habit to Ophelia all the front? The question arises as to whether the love between these two men is deep enough to have lasted through the chaos and adversities of Hamlet through his troubled sleep. It must be said that there is no clear cut answer to this question, although one can assume both. It is true that Hamlet’s love for Ophelia is ambiguous, but given several examples from the play, we can see that his love is genuine.
In the play, the village constantly mocks Ophelia. However, its addition to it can be somewhat justified. Hamlet now perceives his mother as despised. This greatly affects Ophelia’s perspective. Ophelia’s betrayal also forces the village to reject her. Ophelia lies in the village to fulfill her father’s wishes. Because of this he sometimes treats her roughly, but this is mainly due to the troubles he faces. His expressions of love overwhelm her in the moments in which he criticizes her.
IN ACT III, SCENE 1, VILLAGE says, ‘Once I loved you.’ After four lines, however, he contradicts himself by saying, “I did not love you.” Villa affirms that he loved Ophelia, but at the moment, he feels betrayed by many, including her. Feelings of betrayal lead him to resist his feelings, and manipulate him into say things he doesn’t believe.
A letter given to Ophelia before she went into public madness expresses her most sincere affection. We can see from the letters in which Hamlet writes that Ophelia loves her very much. In the letter, which love does not deny in the only thing.
Ophelia briefly resurrects her love for Hamlet in her conversation with Polonius after speaking to Laertes. What she says: “My Lord, he honestly demanded me with love” (I. 3, 118-119). He also says, “He gave to the prayer of the Lord with almost all the saints of heaven.” (I.III.118-119) He defends the village by saying that he is honest, and offers vows and deeds to prove his love.
When Hamlet feigns his insanity in Ophelia, he pretends he no longer loves her, and she constantly rejects and mocks him. “to the monastery, go.” (In this case it is assumed that the nun refers to the harlot.) This, however, means that he loved her first, and shows his love for her in one way or another to causes his pain throughout the story. In the nuns’ scene, Hamlet turns his love and anger towards Ophelia.
The nun’s scene is the main plot of the village’s declaration of love. Hamlet transfers his love and anger towards his mother into the anger of Ophelia. Perhaps Hamlet hopes that Ophelia will know that she wants spies for the cause. As John Dover Wilson notes, “Halletus’s accidental discovery of the intention to spy on him has a much wider impact than his attitude toward Ophelia.” But Wilson also notes, “Moreover, it is evident in the weary convents that we think as closely of the mother as of Ophelia.” Hamlet feels that he has been separated from all his bonds in order to achieve swift revenge for his father’s murder. This is supported by Eleanor Prosser who states that “Hamlet said that he was cut off from all custom, and Ophelia announces that she has really said goodbye to him, the conclusion confirmed.
However, Hamlet’s treatment of Ophelia fluctuates, forcing many to question his intentions. The graveyard scene – where Hamlet first discovers Ophelia’s death, confirms his love for her. When the villager initially discovers the intended grave, he is disturbed. Opelia’s death was announced to him. After he hears Laertes mourning, he becomes disturbed and jumps into the tomb and begins to seize him. When they part, Hamlet says, “I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not make up my sum with all the amount of love.” (V.I. 280-283) He goes on to say that he would do anything for her. Although Laertes and Ophelia are close siblings, Hamlet says that his love is greater than that of Laertes. Laertes defeats the following hyperbole.
“And if you crack the mountains, let them throw them.”
We have a million acres to cultivate;
Singing their plate against the burning zone;
Make bones like warts! Yes, the mouth
I rant just as much as you do.”
Ophelia’s love is so great that it can be compared to the colossus of the mountain, which sings as far above the earth as the sun. This last message of his love for Ophelia shows his true feelings.
Often times, many people have a benefit with their loved ones. You don’t know how much you miss someone while you’re gone. “This place can sum up Hamlet’s feelings for Opelia.

even the nun’s part may be interposed differently;

he just wants to keep her

cuz he knows that theres going to work in Denmark

and wants to keeping kids safe

This can also be interpreted as Hamlet’s way of protecting Ophelia and not marrying her to anyone else but him until he can retrieve her from the nunnery.
The place you deceived my attention is on page 46. This line begins with the villager saying “Go to the nun…” to Ophelia. It seems to me that he is trying to prove his point that he cannot trust anyone. He is so serious about it that he tells her to go to the monastery. It seems that he is saying that the only person who can believe in Jesus is that she go live her life< /a> with him.
He sees so much distrust in himself from others that he expresses his distrust in all his humanity, and this gives him advice about what he has learned about the world, so that you can put hope in others?

does he find himself so suspicious of others that he expresses his distrust in all his humanity, and gives him this advice which he has learned from the world, to trust in others?
There is no clear cut answer to this question, although both parties may assume. It is true that Hamlet’s love for Ophelia is uncertain, but from the play he gave several examples, we can see that his love was genuine.
From the village letters we can see: he writes to Ophelia that he is very much in love and this was before his world came crashing down.
