Claudius advises Hamlet to stop mourning his father's death and start celebrating the marriage between him and Hamlet's mother. He calls Hamlet's attitude"stubborn and unmanly."
A little insensitive considering Hamlet's father has only been dead for 2 months at the time.
Hamlet yelled that his love for Ophelia was more than 40,000 brother's love could not match his love for her, as King Claudius tells Laertes to calm down because Hamlet is only crazy.
the king tells laertes that Hamlet is crazy and to not lisen to him because he was lier, he also tells him after hamlet leaves to remember their plan to kill hamlet
Claudius says, in essence, "People die all the time. Stop moping and get over it."
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.
At the play The Mousetrap Ophelia says it is "twice two months" since the senior Hamlet died. After that there is time for Hamlet to leave, for Laertes to hear in France that his father has died, and to return to Denmark, reconcile with Claudius, hear that Hamlet is returned, plan a fencing match and put it into motion: at least a couple of weeks more. It is about four-and-a-half months later.
No, not at all. Hamlet's part in her father's death came as a great sorrow to her. She was sad and confused but not angry. Her brother Laertes got her share of the family vengeful spirit.
Hamlet is directly responsible for the deaths of five people and indirectly for another. The first person to die because of Hamlet's actions is Polonius, who Hamlet stabs in the mistaken belief that he is King Claudius. This indirectly causes Ophelia's death. Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.
Most noticeably when he arranges for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's death when they were just the messengers. His anger at Ophelia, Gertrude and Polonius may also be seen as misplaced. It is Claudius who he should be angry with. Hamlet is angry with his mother, but his mother had no part in the death of Hamlet's father nor did she know that Claudius had killed him.
Against hamlet was his mere unkindness towards mainly everyone hamlet potrays a worried being who has promblems which go deep
Is it? I would have said it was Polonius's death.
No. Hamlet is responsible for his own behavior, of saying unkind things to Ophelia and misleading her, but he isn't responsible for her climbing that tree.
Ophelia is a character in William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." She is the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and love interest of Prince Hamlet. Ophelia's mental decline and tragic death are central elements in the play.
Death toll in Hamlet: Polonius, Ophelia, Laertes, Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. (8)
When Ophelia is singing about flowers at a grave which forebodes/forshadows her death.
I believe that he is speaking about Hamlet Senior and his recent death, that it is fresh.
Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius who is now the king and Hamlet's stepfather. In the process of pursuing his revenge, Hamlet kills Polonius, Claudius's counsellor and the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia goes mad and dies, and her brother Laertes comes vowing vengeance for his father's death. Laertes and Claudius plot Hamlet's death, but although Hamlet is mortally wounded, their plot misfires, killing Hamlet's mother and Laertes. Hamlet kills Claudius before he, too, expires.

She was blown away by it. Polonius was her father, and she had relied on him almost totally to tell her what to do.

Ophelia's father is Polonius, who is Claudius' advisor. Polonius is killed by Hamlet when he is hiding behind a tapestry, spying on Hamlet as he talks to his mother, Gertrude. After Polonius' death, Ophelia goes mad and eventually dies after she falls from a tree into a brook and drowns.
