people seem to question if Hamlet Really loved Ophelia or not. I’d like to argue that Yes he did love Ophelia because there are countless time throughout the story where he shows her his love and affection.He also never stopped loving her it was all just an act because he was focusing on getting revenge and acting “crazy”.
