Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship is intense because of the
undertones that are present in the play. It is argued that Hamlet is only pretending to be insane
to trick his uncle in to confessing his guilt for murdering the king. Because of this Ophelia is
left second guessing her realtionship with Hamlet and whether or not her lover has truly gone
insance. In addition it Ophelia's loss of her virginity to Hamlet and assumed pregnancy that lead
to her suicide. She could not possibly admit to no longer being pure in this time period which
means a wedding would be expected. Instead, Hamlet is engrossed in to tricking his uncle and has,
in a sense, mocked Ophelia for her lack of purity by telling her to go to the nunery, which is
ironic since he is the one to put her in this situation.
