Why does Hamlet behave so cruelly towards Ophelia after his soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 1?
If you ask me, it's just because Hamlet is a natural born jack-@$$. Some people will try to defend him by pointing out that he has a reason to be angry about Ophelia's spying and is venting his frustrations; but honestly, what he says is extremely harsh. When I was reading it, I was surprised to see in the annotations that nunnery was a euphemism for brothel. I mean, ouch! Your father's just died, the prince who's been pursuing you has apparently gone crazy, and then he basically just snaps at you that you are trash and belong in a brothel. That's just cruel.
