he's hurt
The text does not say for certain. Certainly Ophelia is treated like a child whereas Laertes is treated like someone more mature, but this may not be a true indication of their respective ages. Polonius and Laertes (and Hamlet for that matter) treat Ophelia as if she has no mind of her own, no capability of acting on her own. And indeed this appears to be the case, but it may be because she has always been treated like that, not because she is young.
Some examples of disorder in Hamlet include: -Disorder in Society -Loss of King Hamlet -New King (Claudius) -Treat of invasion by Fortinbras of Norway -Disorder of Family -Claudius killing his own brother -Incestuous Relationship (Claudius marrying his sister-in-law) -Betrayal -Disorder in the Universe -Ghost -Disorder of the Mind -Hamlet pretending to be crazy -Ophelia going crazy
Quite a lot. He respected Laertes, in public at least, and had no evil plans to kill him. Polonius, Laertes' dad, was Claudius' right hand man, and so Claudius had no reason to treat Laertes badly. Conversely, Claudius could never truly see Hamlet through the eyes of a father figure (as he told him he did) because C had killed Hamlet's dad. When the king found out that Hamlet knew about the murder of Hamlet snr., Claudius obviously distanced himself from Hamlet, even sending him to England to be killed.
most people think he treated them poorly but he actually treated them very well
Yes, the word treat is both a noun (treat, treats) and a verb (treat, treats, treating, treated). Examples:noun: I deserve a treat after that boring lecture.verb: I think I'll treat myself to something chocolate.
Treated is the past tense of treat. Treat is a regular verb.
The reason for Ophelia's madness, which is introduced in Act 4 Scene 5, is never directly stated in Hamlet. Probably causes include being instructed by her father and brother to stop seeing Hamlet, with whom she had been romantically involved. After breaking up with him, she watches him apparently go mad, and bears the brunt of one of his angry outbursts. Shortly after, her father Polonius is murdered by Hamlet himself, leaving her with no family in the area, as her brother Laertes is at school in France. The combination of these stressful and painful situations most likely leads Ophelia into madness. Ophelia's madness comes from not only being publicly humiliated by Hamlet but also hearing about how Hamlet murdered her father.
i think it means that treat others the way you want to be treated.
If you treat others badly, and get treated back in the same way, then you are upset. However, if you treat others nicely, then you get treated nice back and dont get upset. =)
