In play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, the author includes an important scene 3.1 of Hamlet and Ophelia. In this scene he describes the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia. Hamlet is being very forceful and harsh on her. Since it is known that Hamlet is very close to a women hater, in this scene his reasons are revealed. Hamlet is very angry with his mother because she got remarried too fast to a murderer of her husband. Even before Hamlet meets the ghost he is very frustrated with his mom’s actions. Therefore, in this scene Hamlet is expressing his anger on Ophelia since she is a young woman.
Also, we might consider that Hamlet was in love with Ophelia at some point before his plan. After his emotional speech about suicide he meets a girl who somehow rejected him, so he is probably angry with her for that action. Probably he thinks that since she did not say yes to him then she should not say yes to anybody else, so he sends her to the nunnery.
Moreover, he is frustrated with the “rotten state of Denmark”, so he wants at least something to be clear and pure of corruption. Therefore, he approaches her with fury of his disrupted mind.
