Why is Ophelia so upset when she enters?

Why do you think Hamlet seems so angry with Ophelia?

In Act 3, Scene 1, Claudius and Polonius try to get Hamlet to reveal his private thoughts by setting up a meeting with his erstwhile girlfriend Ophelia. When Hamlet arrives, he probably knows full well that Claudius is lurking somewhere around but does not appear to be sure that Ophelia is party to the trap. Eventually, however, he figures out that Ophelia knows all about it and it makes him very angry.


Who are in Hamlet Act 2 scene 1?

This idea is introduced in Act One. Queen Gertrude asks Hamlet why he is still so heavily mourning the death of his father, claiming that he seems to be grieving more than is necessary.

Why does Ophelia come to see her father after her encounter with Hamlet?

They are not. Gertrude does say that she hoped Ophelia and Hamlet would marry, but she didn't bother saying that while Ophelia was alive, so she was hardly eager. Polonius told Ophelia to give Hamlet the cold shoulder, since he thought Hamlet was only trying to get into her pants. He did not want Hamlet to fall for Ophelia at all (and he sure didn't think he would do so), but he comes to the conclusion later that Hamlet has in fact fallen in love with Ophelia. He's not exactly happy about that, but what he is happy about is that he can 1) be the first to tell the king, thus making him look smart, and 2) use Ophelia as bait to find out more about Hamlet.


What is Hamlets reaction when polonius tells Ophelia not to see him anymore?

Hamlet isn't present when Polonius tells her this. So how and when does he come to know it? Is it during the scene Ophelia describes to Polonius in 2,1? Ophelia doesn't tell her father that she had time to communicate anything to Hamlet when he "comes before" her. It is clear that Ophelia is holding something back from the story she tells her father, but it does not seem that this is it. Maybe it is in scene 3,1 when Ophelia returns the things (whatever they may be) that she has "longed long to redliver". Apparently it has been some time between 1,3 when Polonius tells Ophelia to lay off Hamlet and 3,1 since it has been "many a day" since they have spoken and she has "longed long" to deliver the mysterious love-tokens (although she may be implying that she had lost interest in him long before the events in 1,3). In any case, Hamlet does not seem to react at all to the fact that Ophelia has been avoiding him of late. He is possibly unaware of it. The romantic relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet is uppermost in Ophelia's mind, but Hamlet has other things to think about. He only seems to focus on her when he realizes that she has allowed herself to be a lure in Claudius's trap for him.


When did hamlet intrude into ophelia private quarters?

Hamlet breaks into Ophelia's chamber sometime near the beginning of Act II. We cannot tell exactly when because it happens offstage. However, it appears that Ophelia has rushed straight from the incident to tell her father, so Hamlet must have been in there when Polonius is talking to Reynaldo.

Why did Hamlet tell ophelia to join a nunnery?

Nuns cannot marry so Hamlet wanted Ophelia to stay away from him and he did'nt want to be married to her. Another possibility was Ophelia could have been pregnant. During this time women who became pregnant went to nunneries when they started to show. They didnt want anyone to know they were pregnant.


Hamlet Did the queen like Ophelia?

Yes, Gertrude loved Ophelia dearly. Her first words to Ophelia are "And Ophelia I do wish your good beauties be the happy cause of Hamlet's wildness. So shall I hope that your virtues may bring him to his wonted way again to both your honours." This is a kindly speech, commending Ophelia not only for her beauty but also for her virtue. Her hope is that Ophelia's influence could temper Hamlet's wild behaviour. In this we hear a gentle foreshadowing of Gertrude's grief-stricken "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife". Most telling of all is the way she tells the story of Ophelia's death. She is not content with a bald report of her drowning but fills it with sad detail. In the end, however, she can say nothing but "Drowned, drowned."
