How does Ophelia from Hamlet feel about love and marriage? From the text?

In general what does he think of it? If you could give me some specific points in the book that would be Awesome!!! Thanks!How does Ophelia from Hamlet feel about love and marriage? From the text?
She is confused about Hamlet's feelings and doesnt know whether to trust them or not. At first, he is passionate and shows deep love but then as he understands how the previous kind died, he starts to be more distant. Some say he is wrapped in himself, other, like me, say that he wants to protect her. Ophelia is a young girl and in her there is this turmoil of feelings of love for Hamlet as well as for her family/ father and brother/ She doesnt know whether to let the emotions take over her or not. At first, Act I, scene 3, she obeys her dad and brother by not considering Hamlet's signs of affection. Then, in the dialog they have there is something that I find quite interesting. In Act III, scene 1 after he says that he never gave her any gifts or smtng / my book is not in English / she replies with something like : The dearest gift loses its meaning when the one that gives is rude. In Act IV, scene 5 she says something in her semi-monologue like : Lord, we know what we are but we dont know what we can be. Right after this line she talks about love and Valentine's day ... she sees herself as the girl that awaits her loved one all day long. An d then she says that a girl should not fall in love unless there is the option of marriage ... something like ... Ladies do not give away your love without a wedding vow ... So she had came to the conclusion that her love for Hamlet has meant nothing for him because now he doesnt give love in return as he used to do . She is sorry that she had ';fallen'; into a guy's trap and had giving away her heart to a loser.


That's all, I think.


Hope I helped you =] How does Ophelia from Hamlet feel about love and marriage? From the text?
Through most of the play Ophelia talks with just about everyone about her relationship with Hamlet as one of courtship and intimations of love, but she never mentions marriage until her ';mad'; scene (Act IV, scene 5), by which time the man she apparently had hoped to marry, Hamlet, has killed her father.





She expresses her feelings about Hamlet and about love in conversation with him in III,1 and III,2.
