Hamlet is under a lot of pressure to hide his emotions and put on an act for people. Ophelia pushes his buttons in such a way that he explodes and all of that emotion is set loose, causing him to speak to her in a vulgar manner. This scene was put in the play to show how well Hamlet can hide his true feelings, but also illustrate that it is a matter of time until he snaps.
