Why does Laertes believe that Hamlet even If he is sincere in his affections towards Ophelia will never marry her?

Laertes thinks that his family is too insignificant to be involved in a royal marriage. He therefore thinks that Ophelia can never marry Hamlet. He is wrong; the Queen says that she hoped Ophelia would be Hamlet's wife.


What lines in act III of Hamlet suggest that Hamlet suspects Polonius' presence?

"Where is your father?" (said to Ophelia)


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.


Why do you think Hamlet seems so angry with Ophelia?

In Act 3, Scene 1, Claudius and Polonius try to get Hamlet to reveal his private thoughts by setting up a meeting with his erstwhile girlfriend Ophelia. When Hamlet arrives, he probably knows full well that Claudius is lurking somewhere around but does not appear to be sure that Ophelia is party to the trap. Eventually, however, he figures out that Ophelia knows all about it and it makes him very angry.

Hamlet gives his "To be, or not to be" soliloquy. Hamlet tells Ophelia, "Get thee to a nunnery!" Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius while he prays. Hamlet kills Polonius.

What Does Ophelia Agree To Do?

In Act 1 Scene 3 of Hamlet, Ophelia agrees to reject Hamlet's amorous advances as her father instructed her to do.


Why does Polonius want Ophelia to stay away from Hamlet?

Polonius is sure, at first, that Hamlet would never marry Ophelia, because of the difference in social status, so he thinks that Hamlet must be only trifling with Ophelia, just for sex. Polonius fears Hamlet doesn't really love Ophelia, and he would get Ophelia pregnant, and then abandon her. We see that in Act 1 scene 3. (Later, in Act 2 scene 1, Polonius changes his mind, however.)

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.


When did hamlet intrude into ophelia private quarters?

Hamlet breaks into Ophelia's chamber sometime near the beginning of Act II. We cannot tell exactly when because it happens offstage. However, it appears that Ophelia has rushed straight from the incident to tell her father, so Hamlet must have been in there when Polonius is talking to Reynaldo.

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.


In act 3 when Hamlet speaks to Ophelia what show is that he has lost faith in her?
