ophelia doesnt actually write hamlet a love letter..
Hamlet however does write one to ophelia
Polonius tells Claudius and Gertrude that Ophelia and Hamlet have had a relationship which Polonius had Ophelia break off, and that this might be the cause of Hamlet's wild behaviour.
No, Gertrude does. It's not clear fromt he text how Ophelia finds out that her father has died.
Some unanswered questions in Hamlet are: Does Hamlet truly go "mad" or is it all an act? Does it matter? Why doesn't anybody dislike Claudius even though he's a murderer? Did Gertrude play a part in Hamlet's father's death? Does the ghost of Hamlet's father tell him not to blame Gertrude, Hamlet's mother? Does Hamlet love Ophelia? Is Hamlet in love with his mother? If he is in love with his mother is he also still in love with Ophelia?
Assuming you are talking about Act II, Ophelia describes how Hamlet came to her chamber, looking disheveled and unkempt, looking depressed, unable to speak, but looked at her, sighed, and wandered away, distracted.
She was blown away by it. Polonius was her father, and she had relied on him almost totally to tell her what to do.
Polonius tells King Claudius that Hamlet's erratic behavior is the result of his love for Ophelia. He believes that Hamlet's madness stems from Ophelia's rejection and the resulting emotional turmoil. Polonius is convinced that this unrequited love is the key to understanding Hamlet's condition and intends to prove it by observing their interactions.
Hamlet is love-sick with Ophelia and is mad since he isn't able to see her anymore.
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.
Polonius tells Claudius and Gertrude that Ophelia and Hamlet have had a relationship which Polonius had Ophelia break off, and that this might be the cause of Hamlet's wild behaviour.
They are not. Gertrude does say that she hoped Ophelia and Hamlet would marry, but she didn't bother saying that while Ophelia was alive, so she was hardly eager. Polonius told Ophelia to give Hamlet the cold shoulder, since he thought Hamlet was only trying to get into her pants. He did not want Hamlet to fall for Ophelia at all (and he sure didn't think he would do so), but he comes to the conclusion later that Hamlet has in fact fallen in love with Ophelia. He's not exactly happy about that, but what he is happy about is that he can 1) be the first to tell the king, thus making him look smart, and 2) use Ophelia as bait to find out more about Hamlet.
No, Gertrude does. It's not clear fromt he text how Ophelia finds out that her father has died.
Hamlet tells Ophelia to "get thee to a nunnery" because he is expressing his disillusionment with women and his belief that they are deceitful and untrustworthy. He also believes that Ophelia should remove herself from the corrupt world they live in by becoming a nun.
Hamlet tells Ophelia to "get thee to a nunnery" because he is expressing his disillusionment with women and his belief that they are deceitful and untrustworthy. He also may be trying to protect Ophelia from the corruption and betrayal he sees in the world around him.

Ophelia tells Hamlet that she has been sewing in her room and has not been seeing him. This lie is part of her attempt to navigate the complex dynamics of their relationship and the pressures from her father, Polonius, and brother, Laertes, who advise her to distance herself from Hamlet. Her deception reveals the conflict between her loyalty to her family and her feelings for Hamlet.
