Ophelia and Hamlet

Ophelia and Hamlet.

Ophelia and Hamlet are in a relationship, but is this true love? We know Ophelia loves Hamlet, but does Hamlet truly feels the same way about her? Hamlet could be lying and maybe he will later leave her when she is no longer beneficial to his plans.

Everyone is against Ophelia and Hamlet’s relationship. Polonius tells Ophelia that Hamlet is using her but she does not believe him and ignores what ever he has to say about him.

Even though everyone is against that relationship, there are events that show that Hamlet did love Ophelia but because his revenge and everything going on he had to act like he did not love her. Hamlet has decided to act like he is mad, he pretends he does not love Ophelia anymore; he even rejects her and insults her (Act 3, scene 1). This, of course, means that he has been in love with her before, has let her think that she was loved. Her pain is then worse. But all of this confusion is because Hamlet doesn't know what he's going to do yet.

We chose the song “Two more lonely people” by Miley Cyrus because it relates to what Ophelia feels and what she wants to hear from Hamlet.

“I need to feel your heartbeat

When you say you love me

I don't want to hear it

If it's something that you don't mean”
