I don’t think that hamlet lives Ophelia. I think this because he’s always rude to her

Great response

Tamryn

I agree with you. I think that you shouldn’t be rude to the people you love. It happens sometimes but not like Hamlet was to Ophelia.

Ryder

I can see that

Cheyenne

I agree, good response.

Cody

1/27/2020 10:35:28 am

I don’t think he loves her. He was always rude. And he basically called her a hoe

Cole

1/27/2020 10:36:35 am

That’s not a nice thing for her to say

Michael Bollen

1/27/2020 10:36:41 am

Destiny

very creative response

Loon

Savage respomse

Cole

1/27/2020 10:35:31 am

I don’t think Hamlet loves Ophelia. This is because he is always rude and ignores her.

Cody

1/27/2020 10:35:56 am

I agree

Jacob

1/27/2020 10:37:11 am

I agree with that.

Wylie

1/27/2020 10:37:19 am

Do you take advice from hamlet?

Troy

1/27/2020 10:37:23 am

I had a similar response

Tamryn

1/27/2020 10:39:13 am

He does ignore her and is rude to her and I also believe he doesn’t love her.

Jacob

1/27/2020 10:36:24 am

I do not think that Hamlet loves Ophelia. He never truly acted like he did. He is just saying he does as a cover up.

Michael Bollen

1/27/2020 10:36:54 am

Nice

Wylie

1/27/2020 10:37:33 am

I agree

Sydnee

1/27/2020 10:38:11 am

Good

Kelton

1/27/2020 10:38:30 am

Good job

Paul

1/27/2020 10:36:26 am

I think there is a chance he might have feeling for her but won’t show them. He seems sad at points but pushes her away.

Loon

1/27/2020 10:40:34 am

I agree with that

Dakota

1/27/2020 10:41:09 am

I see where this is heading

Wylie

1/27/2020 10:36:38 am

I wouldn’t say he loves her. If he does he has a weird way he has a weird way of showing it.

Kelton

1/27/2020 10:38:00 am

I agree with you buddy

Paul

1/27/2020 10:38:39 am

I think he shows it in a werid way.

taelyn

1/27/2020 10:39:47 am

this makes a lot of sense

Tamryn

1/29/2020 01:12:24 pm

I agree that he has a very weird way of showing his love if he does love her.

Kelton

1/27/2020 10:36:43 am

I think he does. The only reason he is rude to her is because they broke up and it’s the easiest way for him to move on.

Dakota

1/27/2020 10:40:34 am

Great statement

Kaleb

1/27/2020 10:40:57 am

He thoughtttttt

Abi

1/27/2020 10:41:24 am

I agree

Tamryn

1/29/2020 01:15:08 pm

I actually agree with you Kelt. I think he is putting up his “safety wall” and he’s using being rude being a coping mechanism.

Destiny

1/27/2020 10:36:49 am

I don’t think Hamlet loves Ophelia. He would no treat her the way he has if he loves her.

Sydnee

1/27/2020 10:38:58 am

Nice

Cheyenne

1/27/2020 10:40:02 am

I agree and good response.

Abi

1/27/2020 10:40:20 am

I agree with that, he treated her like a side bitch.

Troy

1/27/2020 10:37:07 am

I don’t think hamlet loves her because he is never nice to her and always has something rude to say

Sydnee

1/27/2020 10:37:48 am

Because of how rude he is to her I don’t think he loves her

Tamryn

1/27/2020 10:37:56 am

I don’t think Hamlet ever loved Ophelia. He was always rude and purposely hurt her. You don’t purposely hurt the people you love.

Destiny

1/27/2020 10:39:41 am

I was thinking the same thing.

taelyn

1/27/2020 10:38:14 am

i feel like he does love her. hamlet uses the rude-ness towards her to push her away because they broke up. he needs to push her away to be able to move on.

Cheyenne Ward

1/27/2020 10:38:16 am

I think Hamlet May have had some sort of feelings but I don’t think he loved her because he was rude and dismayed her most of the time.

Brayden

1/27/2020 10:41:44 am

Very good point of veiw

Ryder

1/27/2020 10:38:31 am

I don’t think that Hamlet loves Ophelia but he could have possibly loved her before all of his emotions were stirred up because of his father’s death

Dylan

1/27/2020 10:40:34 am

I agree with that.

Abi

1/27/2020 10:38:48 am

I believe he thought he loved her but then his mind was clouded by the ghost of his father.

Loon

1/27/2020 10:39:09 am

I do think Hamlet loved Ophelia. I think he was too caught up with avenging his father that he brushed Ophelia to the side throughout the play. But he comes to the realization that he was rude and didn’t care when she dies.

Riley

1/27/2020 10:41:29 am

I agree, that’s almost what I said.

Brayden

1/27/2020 10:42:28 am

Very good point of view I agree.

Dylan

1/27/2020 10:39:27 am

I don’t think hamlet loves Ophelia. He acts harshly towards her. However it is hard to tell if it is just an act.

Riley

1/27/2020 10:39:47 am

I feel that hamlet did love Ophelia. He wrote love notes and showed his affection before he went insane. I think everything he did to her after was just a show so he could get everyone to think he was crazy.

Brooke

1/27/2020 10:41:09 am

I agree that she did love Ophelia at some point.

Owen

1/27/2020 10:39:52 am

I don’t think he lovers her. He is always rude to her.

Riley

1/27/2020 10:41:02 am

Do you think it was because he was crazy though?

Kaleb

1/27/2020 10:39:52 am

I don’t think he loves her. She’s s bad person. She lies.

Tyrell Wortley

1/27/2020 10:39:52 am

I think Hamlet loved Ophelia. Yes, the way he treated her shows he didn’t, but it’s important to remember that Hamlet is crazy. He most likely did love her, but got caught up in the crossfire of the war in and between Hamlet and his Uncle.

Dakota

1/27/2020 10:40:18 am

I think hamlet does truly love Ophelia. He is rude to her because it doesn’t feel good to love someone who doesn’t love you, and he wants her to see how he feels.

Brooke

1/27/2020 10:42:02 am

He is rude to her.

Brooke

1/27/2020 10:40:26 am

I think Hamlet did love Ophelia, but I do think that he lost himself. Hamlet is acting and playing this character but he has started to become the character he created. He is treating Ophelia really differently because he is acting crazy.

Dylan

1/27/2020 10:41:18 am

I see your points and agree.

Charlie

1/27/2020 10:42:13 am

I believe at one point he loved Ophelia but started to drift away when they broke up, causing him to act bitter towards her.
