10/9/2023 0 Comments Hamlet shakespeare![]() ![]() ![]() When Hamlet and Ophelia first speak to each other, Hamlet tells her “that if be honest and fair, honesty should admit no discourse to beauty” (3.1.107-108), and that “ loved not” (3.1.119), making her realize that he has never loved her. Hamlet is “playing” Ophelia, within Act 3, by acting love sick towards her and by treating her brutally. To Hamlet, Ophelia is his safety net that redirects the attention towards Ophelia and himself, rather than his dreadful plan. This suggests that Ophelia is some how connected to the crime that Hamlet seeks to avenge. Hamlet decides to act as a crazy person, integrating Ophelia into a part of his plan, without her knowing. When the ghost tells Hamlet to avenge his father’s death by murdering King Claudius, Hamlet needs to devise a plan to seek his revenge.
