Hamlet And Ophelia Hamlet Love
1,015 words
Hamlet/Ophelia True Love Betrayed I would have to
strongly disagree with Nicole's interpretation of
Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship. They were most
certainly lovers. Hamlet did without question
offer Ophelia "tenders" of his affection, and we
know this because she must return them to Hamlet.
In addition, we also have the letter read from
Polonius to Claudius and Gertrude in which Hamlet
writes to Ophelia I did love thee once. So indeed,
Hamlet did love Ophelia, and evidence is also in
the play...

The Love Of Hamlet For Ophelia
1,557 words
Hamlet is without any reservations, one of
Shakespeare's most mystifying plays. Although the
play has a concise story, it is filled with many
uncertainties relating to different issues behind
the plot. The reader is left with many
uncertainties about the true feelings of prince
Hamlet. One question in particular is, did Hamlet
really love Ophelia? This dispute can be
reinforced either way, however I believe Hamlet
was truly in love with Ophelia. Support for my
decision comes from Hamlets treatme...

Hamlets Treatment of Ophelia and Gertrude Modern
folklore suggests women look at a mans
relationship with his mother to predict how they
will treat other women in their life. Hamlet is a
good example of a sons treatment of his mother
reflecting how he will treat the woman he loves
because when considering Hamlets attitude and
treatment of the Ophelia in William Shakespeare's
play, Hamlet, one must first consider how Hamlet
treated his mother. A characteristic of Hamlets

Hamlet Madness Kills Claudius
2,138 words
Ophelia, in this tragedy many see her as just
Hamlet? s lover, a character who is selfish in not
helping Hamlet when in need, or just a psycho
lover with a lot of problems. What if the story
was twisted so that the play wasn? t a tragedy and
actually turned into a love story due to Ophelia?
This is how I would have written it if I were
William Shakespeare. Ophelia who was Hamlet? s
love in the play would have recognized the reason
for Hamlet? s madness, taken the situation in to
her own hands in...

Hamlet And Ophelia Series Of Events
1,685 words
The Madness of Hamlet and Ophelia It was
fascinating to look at how many characters in
Shakespeare s plays poked at the brink of
insanity. It seems to me, the plays couldn t have
been tragedies if this didn t happen. In the plays
we read, important characters evolved into
madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the
tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to
see how this series of events would be an ongoing
theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the
same outcome was to be expec...

Ophelia? s Weaknesses In classic works of
literature all characters have certain flaws. In
Shakespeare? s tragedies the characters all have
flaws that eventually lead to their undoing. In
the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the
character of Ophelia is ultimately killed by her
flaw. It is apparent that Ophelia is an obedient

the audience sees that she is not merely obedient.

Father Murder Act 3 Scene 1

The Elizabethan play Hamlet by William Shakespeare
is without a doubt one of Shakespeare? s most
puzzling plays. Although the play has a concise
story, it is filled with many questions pertaining
to different topics behind the story line. One
question in particular is did Hamlet really love
Ophelia? This argument can be supported in both
directions, however I feel that Hamlet did love
Ophelia. Support for this decision comes from
Hamlet? s treatment towards Ophelia in Act 3,
Scene 2, and at Ophe...

There Polonius Mistakes Polonius Mistakes There
are many parents who are too strict and do not let
their children do things that might embarrass
them. Other times a parent may use their child to
do certain things in order to gain social
prestige. Polonius demonstrates a similar type of
behavior in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Polonius is a
domestic tyrant wreaking on his son and his
daughter revenge for his own spoiled life (Bloom
