The text of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" does not explicitly confirm whether Hamlet and Ophelia had a sexual relationship. Their interactions suggest a complex mix of love and manipulation, with Hamlet expressing affection for Ophelia at times, but also pushing her away. The ambiguity surrounding their relationship leaves room for interpretation, but there is no definitive evidence in the play that they were intimate. Ultimately, their relationship is marked by tragedy and misunderstanding rather than clarity.
