Why is Ophelia so upset when she enters?

Why do you think Hamlet seems so angry with Ophelia?

In Act 3, Scene 1, Claudius and Polonius try to get Hamlet to reveal his private thoughts by setting up a meeting with his erstwhile girlfriend Ophelia. When Hamlet arrives, he probably knows full well that Claudius is lurking somewhere around but does not appear to be sure that Ophelia is party to the trap. Eventually, however, he figures out that Ophelia knows all about it and it makes him very angry.


Why did Hamlet tell ophelia to join a nunnery?

Nuns cannot marry so Hamlet wanted Ophelia to stay away from him and he did'nt want to be married to her. Another possibility was Ophelia could have been pregnant. During this time women who became pregnant went to nunneries when they started to show. They didnt want anyone to know they were pregnant.

What is Hamlets reaction when polonius tells Ophelia not to see him anymore?

Hamlet isn't present when Polonius tells her this. So how and when does he come to know it? Is it during the scene Ophelia describes to Polonius in 2,1? Ophelia doesn't tell her father that she had time to communicate anything to Hamlet when he "comes before" her. It is clear that Ophelia is holding something back from the story she tells her father, but it does not seem that this is it. Maybe it is in scene 3,1 when Ophelia returns the things (whatever they may be) that she has "longed long to redliver". Apparently it has been some time between 1,3 when Polonius tells Ophelia to lay off Hamlet and 3,1 since it has been "many a day" since they have spoken and she has "longed long" to deliver the mysterious love-tokens (although she may be implying that she had lost interest in him long before the events in 1,3). In any case, Hamlet does not seem to react at all to the fact that Ophelia has been avoiding him of late. He is possibly unaware of it. The romantic relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet is uppermost in Ophelia's mind, but Hamlet has other things to think about. He only seems to focus on her when he realizes that she has allowed herself to be a lure in Claudius's trap for him.

Why does Ophelia come to see her father after her encounter with Hamlet?

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.


What about if the promise is broken after you accept the promise ring?

If you break the promise of a purity ring, then naturally, you'll probably feel at least somewhat guilty. God will not be mad at you, though. He understands you and knows your heart. He adores you and is quick to forgive you. There's nothing you could ever do to sever His unconditional love for you. Although you may feel a little distant from God for a short time, a broken promise doesn't mean a broken relationship. You're still His beloved child. Besides, even if you break the promise and have premarital sex, it doesn't mean you have to completely let go of that promise. You can still try to do your best to remain chaste, if you so desire. No matter what, just know that God will always welcome you with open arms and a warm embrace. God bless you.
