∙ 10y ago
Both have very similar plot situations: they both have overbearing fathers, commit suicide, and have parents who don't really seem to understand them. However, there is one mian fundamental difference betwen them. Juliet has a self-defined indenity, while Ophelia seems to be masking her indenity. Juliet is very sure of herself and makes decisions on her own, while Ophelia seems to be controlled by everyone around her.

Is Hamlet obsessively in love with ophelia or is he a insensitive womanizer?
Hamlet's relationship with Ophelia can be played many different ways. Either of these is possible, and are problematic. If Hamlet is obsessed with love for Ophelia, why does he never talk about his feelings for her until after she is dead? When he talks to himself, wouldn't he talk like Romeo in Romeo and Juliet ("What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Ophelia is the sun!") or Valentine in The Two Gentlemen of Verona ("What light is light if Ophelia be not seen? What joy is joy is Ophelia be not by?"). Instead the woman he talks about is his mother. And if he is an insensitive womanizer (He certainly is insensitive, if not cruel, toward Ophelia) you'd think there'd be some evidence of his having a relationship with at least one woman other than Ophelia and his mother. There is no such evidence. Consider the banter he has with his erstwhile schoolchums Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Surely you'd expect him to say "In the secret parts of fortune? Most true, she is a strumpet, like that black-haired wench at the Frog and Peach, remember? Wo-ho-ho!" But he doesn't. Less problematic interpretations have Hamlet genuinely loving Ophelia but not obsessively. His other troubles are more important to him. When he finds that she has betrayed him he is angry and attacks her viciously. But that's because he expected something better from her.
