How is one supposed to act when one just found out their father is dead? And the one who murdered him is now married to one's mother. Hamlet preserves a negative and insensitive view on the world through these trials and tribulations. These qualities mount up to the aggravation unleashed on Ophelia during Act 3 Scene 1.

When Hamlet pours his heart out during his soliloquy, before talking to Ophelia, is when the audience learns his precise feelings towards the world through a 'glass is half empty' perspective. The audience also learns ho

Hamlet's love for Ophelia can be proved in many ways throughout the test. At the beginning of the play, when Hamlet begins to go insane, he also pretends to not love her. He insults her; he rejects her and says "Get thee to a nunnery" (3.1.130). Insulting her is his form of showing disgust. Hamlet is only trying to make her mad because he is angry. For instance, he doesn't want anyone to happier than him because it will only irritate him more and that will ultimately bring him down.

As Ophelia enters the scene, Hamlet becomes enchanted and his emotional state lifts, the concerned remarks of suicide that were just said seemed to disappear into thin air. "'The fair Ophelia! Nymph in thy orisons be all my sins remembered.'" (3.1.96-97). Why would Hamlet say this to himself if he didn't have any feelings towards her? There must have been love there, and at the very least there was something, because Hamlet wouldn't say this about anyone who entered the room. It had to be someone who meant something to him and catches his eye when they grace him with their presence. When Hamlet says 'be all my sins remembered' I'm sure it is in refrence to sexual content. A sin in Elizabethan times is a lot different from a sin nowadays. And the ultimate sin back then was to sleep with someone before marriage. Not to say it isn't a sin now, it is just more widely accepted.

I don't think of too many people doing this at a ceremony. Some feel like they don't want to be separated with their loved one however, I don't think any would go to this measure. Since Hamlet did it just goes to show that he couldn't contain his love for her anymore he had to announce it to everyone to show his true feelings.
