Hamlet is either very sexual or very mean to Ophelia. Examples of this is when he asks if he can put his head in her lap (before the play begins) and when he tells her that she needs to go to a nunnery (when Polonius and Claudius stage a conversation between the two).

We only see them interact in the one scene, Act 3 Scene 1. When they meet, they seem awkward and embarrassed. Hamlet wants Ophelia to know that being around him is dangerous, and she should go to somewhere safer, like a convent. But part way through the conversation he realizes that they are being spied on, and when he asks her "Where is thy father?", her answer is obviously a lie. Hamlet gets very angry and abusive toward her because she has betrayed him.

What does Hamlet tell ophelia about Hamlets decleration of affection?

He claims at one point it was false, with the implication that he was just trying to get into her pants. We probably shouldn't believe him; it's all part of the act. Ophelia is often depicted as taking this rather hard, since it's what Laertes and Polonius warned her might be happening.

What part does Ophelia play in the plan of Polonius and the King What is her reaction to the way Hamlet speaks to her?

Ophelia is bait. She is to engage Hamlet in conversation while Polonius and the King are secretly listening in, hoping that he will reveal to her the reason for his strange behaviour. But Ophelia is not entirely on board with this plan, about which she was never consulted, and she tries to steer the conversation away from revealing details. Hamlet's explosion of anger when he realizes that the conversation is a set-up, and Ophelia is privy to it, convinces Ophelia that he really is crazy ("O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown.") while at the same time convincing Claudius that he is not ("what he spake, though it lacked form a little, was not like madness.").
