Ophelia distances herself from Hamlet primarily due to the emotional turmoil caused by his erratic behavior and the pressure from her father, Polonius, and brother, Laertes, who warn her against getting involved with him. After Hamlet's harsh rejection during their encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, Ophelia feels betrayed and confused, leading her to decide that it is best to avoid him. This decision reflects her struggle to navigate her loyalty to her family and her feelings for Hamlet amid the chaos of the royal court.

What does Shakespeare's phrase there's the rub mean?
A rub is a difficulty.The origin is unknown and it is most known for Shakespeare's use of it in Hamlet...."To sleep: perchance to dream: ay there's the rub; for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause;"In Shakespeare's time a rub was an area of rough, or uneven ground, one might encounter while attempting to play a game of bowls (a popular game in the Elizabethan era, as the famous account of Sir Francis Drake's game of bowls confirms).A rub was a problematic patch of turf that would sabotage or deflect ones attempt to roll the bowl with accuracy. Thus in Shakespeare's usage in Hamlet's soliloquy it means, the centre or source of the problem, that knotty or disagreeable fact or reality, that makes a problem a problem.In the speech Hamlet is contemplating suicide. And he is inclined to take his own life, due to the sleep -- the eternal rest from his suffering -- that doing so would grant him. But what "dreams" will come to him in such a sleep? i.e. Might there be an afterlife that will have to be encountered if he kills himself, and if so, what is its character?The thought of this possibility stays his hand from taking his life, it is the source of the problem that is preventing him from going down a route his will initially wanted to take him. Hence, "ay there's the rub."

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 cause does Polonius give for Hamlets madness?
Polonius is sure that Hamlet has gone mad with love for Ophelia. See these lines by Polonius in Act 2 scene 1: ~Polonius: Come, go with me! I will go seek the King;This is the very ecstasy of love,...Ophelia: ... I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me.Polonius: That hath made him mad;~ So Polonius thinks Hamlet is suffering from the "ecstasy of love" for Ophelia, which has driven him mad.
What might have changed if Hamlet had not killed Polonius?
Ophelia might not have gone crazy, Laertes would not have come home to fight hamlet, and king Claudius might not have wanted to send hamlet away.
What does ophelia give to laertes?
In Act 1 Scene 3 of Hamlet, both Laertes and Polonius advise Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet, in their own ways. Laertes, as Ophelia's brother, gives the explanation that Hamlet, as heir to the throne of Denmark, must ultimately do what benefits the country. That means that though he may love Ophelia now, he will never be able to marry her because she is not of royal blood so it would not reflect well on the country, and because Denmark must come first, their relationship is doomed to end. Laertes says that Hamlet's affections for Ophelia are essentially flirtation and are going nowhere. (Of course he is dead wrong about Ophelia's chances of marrying Hamlet. At her funeral Gertrude says "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife.") Polonius, Ophelia's father, gives the same advice for a different reason. He basically says that Hamlet is a young guy and offers her affection because he wants her, not because he loves her. He advises that Ophelia should stop seeing Hamlet because what she thinks is love is simply lust.
What do Laertes and Polonius advise Ophelia to do?

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.
