Did Ophelia die accidently or did she kill herself How do you know?

You don't. This is a vexed question. Gertrude's speech in Act IV Scene 7 seems to indicate that her death was an accident, but the priest isn't buying it for some reason, as he refuses her a proper funeral. And Gertrude is carrying this news to the hotheaded and unbalanced Laertes who Claudius is trying to calm down. Maybe she tweaked the story to make it sound like an accident, as telling Laertes that it was a suicide might drive him over the brink. Then again, she may be trying to argue for an accident in the hope that Ophelia will be properly buried, knowing in her own mind that it was a suicide. So you cannot be sure whether it was accident or suicide.

Who said this line in hamlet you have of late -- but wherefore you know not?
Polonius said this to Ophelia.
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.
What does Polonius suggest after Hamlet and Ophelia see one another in act two scene two?
In Act 3 scene 1 of Hamlet (the "nunnery" scene), Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia. Well, it's sort of eavesdropping since Ophelia knows they are there and if Hamlet does not know at the beginning of the conversation, he figures it out pretty quickly.
Who tells ophelia to get to a nunnery?
Ophelia is definitely very hurt by what Hamlet has said. Hamlet saying such a phrase only further pushes Ophelia's feeling that she was cheated by Hamlet, that the love they had together earlier was not real.
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.
