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.

The queen was in favour of Ophelia marrying Hamlet; at Ophelia's funeral she says "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife." But too many people were interfering with their relationship, not least of whom was the Ghost.

How does Hamlet react when he learns of Ophelia's death What does he claim for the first time?
Hamlet's line is "What? The fair Ophelia?" which could be delivered in a lot of different ways depending on how actor and director feel about what he is really feeling. Shortly thereafter he is so offended by Laertes' ridiculous and melodramatic show of grief that he shows himself, saying "Who is he whose grief bears such an emphasis?" He is not thinking about Ophelia here but rather about Laertes. It is only in the context of comparing himself to Laertes that he says for the first time "I loved Ophelia." Again it is up to director and actor to decide how sincere he is in saying that.

How can you deal with guilt?
If I have made a mistake or have done something wrong I will feel guilty. My way of dealing with it is to go to the people I have done wrong and apologize to him or her. When I apologize I tell them what I did, how I was involved, and tell them I am sorry. I try my best to look them in the eye and give them a sincere apology. I don't really feel better in what I have done. I feel better knowing that I fessed up to what I did. I have learned that giving a sincere apologize goes a long way with someone you wronged.

Why does Hamlet attack Laertes?
"Osric did not "get" Hamlet and Laertes to fight. He stood by as a referee in the duel between the two adversaries. He called out the "hits". They duelled because Laertes believed that Hamlet was responsible for the death of his sister Ophelia and wished to avenge it. This belief had been fostered by Claudius who saw a way of having Hamlet killed as he knew that Claudius had murdered his - Hamlet's - father." This is almost correct. Indeed Osric was not the cause of Hamlet and Laertes duel, the King was the one who came up with this idea because he found it the easiest way to have Hamlet killed without the suspect of foul play. But Laertes agreed to the duel not only because he believed Hamlet's madness caused Ophelia to also go mad ultimately killing her, he also dueled because of Hamlet's cold blooded murder of his father Polonius...just wanted to add that Polonius had two reasons for wanting to duel Hamlet.
What reasons do Laertes and Polonius give for their command to Ophelia to stp seeing Hamlet?
What? Why? How?1. What reasons do Laertes and Polonius givefor their command to Ophelia to stop seeingHamlet? Are they reasonable?Laertes wants her to stop because Hamlet is aprince who 'may not carve for himself':Ophelia is too far beneath Hamlet, socially,for their relationship to have any hope ofsurviving. Hamlet is bound to end up in apolitical marriage to the Princess of Poland orsomewhere.One possible mistake is to believe that Laertesreally believes that Hamlet is dallying with heraffections following his first speech. Laerteswants her to persuade herself that this is thecase in order to make it easier for her to dropthe prince: 'Think it no more' (my emphasis).Polonius is far more cynical. He believes hisdaughter is a 'baby' whom Hamlet intends totrap into bed. The prince's words are those of aman whose blood is burning with lust, a lustwhich 'lends the tongue' the sincere promisesHamlet has made.Laertes is probably the more reasonable. Atleast his worries are based on the fact thatHamlet is a prince rather than mere suspicion.But even he, in his offensive warning toOphelia to 'fear' the power of her lust, has alow opinion of the affair (and of women). Bothmen are obsessed by family honour, animportant theme in the play, and thepreservation of Ophelia's 'chaste treasure'. TheHamlet we have met in Act 1, scene 2, doesn'tlook like the sort of man to dally with a younggirl's affections, especially considering that heis so agonised by his mother's infidelity
