How did Hamlet react when he got to know that the grave was for Ophelia?

Hamlet sees Laertes acting like a jerk, putting on a big show of grief, with himself the center of attention, instead of being properly respectful for Ophelia's funeral service. It makes Hamlet angry.

∙ 13y agoDuring her funeral, her brother Laertes jumps into the grave and melodramatically asks that he be buried with her. Hamlet, who has been hiding in the bushes watching this, comes out and expresses his annoyance with Laertes' bombastic promises. He jumps into the grave too and they fight. They are parted and led off. Presumably the gravedigger then covers over poor Ophelia's trampled remains.

Who said this line in hamlet you have of late -- but wherefore you know not?
Polonius said this 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 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.
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 the purpose of including the subplot of Hamlet and Ophelia's romance?
The degree of relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia is quite unknown to the reader, although it is somewhat suggested in the text that they were, in fact, together. This subplot shows that when Hamlet pretends to be - or actually does become - insane that it effects Ophelia on a very deep level. The rejection Ophelia is given by Hamlet sends her into insanity - and in the end suicide. This is an aspect of irony, something Shakespeare liked to use in his work. By pretending to be insane, Hamlet causes Ophelia to actually become insane - a type of casualty caused by Hamlet's need to know the truth about his father's death.
Who Hamlet loves?
Ophelia loves Hamlet and is devastated by his rejection of her--it is one reason she loses her mind. Gertrude also loves Hamlet; this becomes apparent in the Closet scene, and her behaviour afterwards. Hamlet unfortunately does not return either of their loves with the intensity with which they give it.

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 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.
Can you please explain what Hamlet offers ophelia if she gets married?
Of course you know that Hamlet never actually asks Ophelia to marry him. That is because he is a prince, the son of a king, and a potential heir to the throne, and if she married him she might become queen. Usually members of royalty are not free to marry as they will, but need the permission of the government. Royal marriages were often made to seal alliances and so royalty were stuck with the people chosen for them. This is what Laertes means when he warns Ophelia, "He may not, as unvalued persons do, carve for himself, for on his choice depends the safety and health of this whole state." Ironically, at Ophelia's funeral Gertrude says "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife." but by then it was way too late. If Polonius had suggested the match instead of pooh-poohing it, Hamlet and Ophelia might have married.
What is the true nature of Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship?
This is a matter of some debate. Clearly they had a romantic relationship (witness Hamlet's love-letter and "remembrances"); opinions differ on how physical that relationship went before the play started. There are also multiple interpretations of what happened to them during the play. We know that Ophelia was forced by her father to repudiate Hamlet, and he stops by her room half-undressed and behaving in a very odd way. Is this the ecstasy of love? Or Hamlet play-acting the madman? Or Hamlet trying to decide whether he can trust Ophelia? They have not talked for some time by the time we get to Act 3 Scene 1. The scene starts off awkwardly, because they are both trying to hint at something which they cannot say aloud because they both know that they are being watched, but they do not know that the other one knows. Ophelia would like to say, "Be very careful what you say, because my father is watching," while Hamlet would like to say, "I may behave oddly because I know your father is watching, but I still care." When Hamlet finds that she is aware that her father is watching, he leaps to the conclusion that she is part of the plot, and gets angry. Her affection has been bought by her father and by the King, therefore she belongs in a "nunnery". Shortly afterward he will inadvertently kill her father, and never get a chance to explain his anger. She concludes, not that he does not love her for her unworthiness, or that he is a jerk who doesn't deserve her love, but that "what a noble mind is here o'erthrown." He is crazy, or he would still show he loves her. We get a further hint of what is going on in Hamlet's mind at Ophelia's funeral. Feeling abandoned by all the men in her life, she has gone insane and died, maybe by suicide. Hamlet protests to Laertes "I loved Ophelia! Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum." Are we to take Hamlet at his word? Or is he merely protesting against Laertes's preposterous gesture in jumping into her grave?The thing about Hamlet is, there isn't a simple answer to anything. And that's why it's the greatest play in the world.
