"I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers Could not with all their quantity of love Make up my sum." (Act 5, Scene 1, Lines 255-257)

By act 5, Ophelia is declared dead, there's a great deal of speculation whether she committed suicide or not. Hearing the news of Ophelia's passing away, Hamlet makes an entire speech, claiming he "loved" her more than "forty thousand brothers" yet it is not true. Hamlet did not love Ophelia since he not only toyed with her emotions, he degraded her already low status by claiming she's a promiscuous woman and that she should "get thee to a nunnery". The betrayal Hamlet sees in her is that Ophelia uses her sexuality against Hamlet in order to gain information that she will pass to her father and he will pass to King. Claudius. Although he never loved her, Ophelia and her father dying, was very convenient way for Hamlet to slowly isolate the king and his confidants. This drives the entire plot forward by leaving the King as an opened and exposed target.

"How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff  And his sandal shoon....
Young men will do't if they come to't-
By Cock, they are to blame.
Quoth she, 'Before you tumbled me,
You promised me to wed.'" (Act 4, Scene 4/5 lines 26-28, 62-66 )

Towards the end of the play, Ophelia is perceived as someone who has gone mad. Her madness reveals more of the relationship that she had with Hamlet. Through her singing it is revealed how their relationship could have been really intimate to the extent that could have caused Ophelia from losing her virginity. When Hamlet left Ophelia after he told her he did not love her it can be seen how he did not love her for he made her false promises to marry her in exchange for her purity. The fact that he left her all alone and not showing any remorse for her father's death contributes to the idea that Hamlet did not love her. This entire scene of her singing drives the entire plot forward by leading to Ophelia's death. It brings up the question on whether or not Ophelia had committed suicide.

Act 3, Scene 1:
In this scene, Hamlet acts polite to Ophelia, until she tries to return the letters that he had given her. He denies giving her anything but Ophelia keeps insisting. Hamlet then badgers Ophelia by questioning whether she is honest and fair, something that can be taken with a double meaning and claims that her beauty has corrupted it. He declares that he once loved her, only to take it back after her blunt reply, "Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so." From this point on Hamlet lashes insults towards Ophelia telling her to get to a nunnery. Hamlet degrades her as a women and blames her for all the misfortunes of the world which demonstrates his fury towards women in general.

Sometimes in life the one you love does not love you back, even when they say they do.
