Unconsciously, Hamlet believes that the fairer sex is not trustworthy. Hamlet had loved Ophelia, it is obvious that he loved her and probably felt the same way his father felt about his mother. This is why when Hamlet unfortunately turns on Ophelia and it is so brutal in nature, it ends up destroying her. Hamlet obviously uses Ophelia to reinforce the disguise of his madness; his actions clearly benefit Polonius, who already believes that Hamlet has gone crazy for Ophelia's love. Hamlet must be held responsible for the way he treated Ophelia. Hamlet controls his mental faculties, but is fueled by thoughts of Gertrude's betrayal. Ophélie is the only outlet for the anger he must keep secret. The audience believes that Hamlet still loves Ophelia and that the thirst for justice compels him to behave the way he does. This allows the audience to conclude that Hamlet is both unpleasant and yet so pleasant. The true recognition of his love for Ophelia can only come when Hamlet realizes that she is dead and free of her corrupt feminine character.
