ReplyDeleteHamlet’s romance with Ophelia is ended by his mother.- True or False and why
ReplyDeletefalse, Ophelia's father and brother warn her against seeing Hamlet
DeleteFalse. Wasn't Polonius and Laertes telling her to stop being with him because he was just interested in what she had in her pants. Sex. He was just interested in that.
DeleteFalse. Laertes tells Ophelia that Hamlet is a liar. like all men are.
DeleteFalse. I'd say Hamlet did it himself. Laertes and Polonius told Ophelia to back away from Hamlet..
DeleteDoesn't Hamlet write her love letters at first and then pushes her away afterwards?
DeleteNaa, Polonius wanted to pimp his daughter to Hamlet. He thought that was why Hamlet was going mad because he wasn't getting some because Ophelia rejected him.
DeleteHamlet is an insane little jerk.
DeleteFalse, her father and brother warn her about Hamlet.
