According to Laertes, she may compromise her reputation by going too far with Hamlet, only to find later on that a marriage with a different woman has been arranged for him for political reasons. However, we learn from Gertrude that that was not the plan at all and that Gertrude had intended that Hamlet and Ophelia should marry. Claudius would not have resisted her desire in this, because he is deeply in love with Gertrude. Nevertheless, had Ophelia gone too far with Hamlet (and the source material and some productions of the play including Kenneth Branagh's movie suggest that she had done so) she still would have been repudiated by Hamlet in the nunnery scene (III, 1). The bitter sting of Hamlet's repudiation would be all the greater if Ophelia had already become his mistress or (as in some versions of the story) was carrying his child.
