Hamlet Did the queen like Ophelia?
Yes, Gertrude loved Ophelia dearly. Her first words to Ophelia are "And Ophelia I do wish your good beauties be the happy cause of Hamlet's wildness. So shall I hope that your virtues may bring him to his wonted way again to both your honours." This is a kindly speech, commending Ophelia not only for her beauty but also for her virtue. Her hope is that Ophelia's influence could temper Hamlet's wild behaviour. In this we hear a gentle foreshadowing of Gertrude's grief-stricken "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife". Most telling of all is the way she tells the story of Ophelia's death. She is not content with a bald report of her drowning but fills it with sad detail. In the end, however, she can say nothing but "Drowned, drowned."
What was Ophelia's reaction to her father's death?
She went nuts. The exact process of this is not shown in the play.
