Detailed explanation-1: -Grief-stricken and outraged, Hamlet bursts upon the company, declaring in agonized fury his own love for Ophelia. He leaps into the grave and fights with Laertes, saying that “forty thousand brothers / Could not, with all their quantity of love, / make up my sum” (V.i.254–256).
Detailed explanation-2: -One moment he says ‘I did love you once’, the next ‘I loved you not’. He goes on to insult Ophelia and tells her to go to a nunnery. He tells her that this will be the best place for her and, by being a nun, Ophelia won’t have children and produce wicked men like his uncle.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the graveyard scene where they bury Ophelia’s body Hamlet expresses his love in a way that went against Laertes. Hamlet declared his love for Ophelia by saying, “I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet shows throughout the play that he is really in love with Ophelia. One piece of evidence showing that Hamlet really did love Ophelia is when he tells her, “I did love you” (Act 3 scene 1 line 126). Hamlet confesses that he truly loved her, but then goes back on his word and says he never loved.
Detailed explanation-5: -The way he reacts towards his death makes it look like an act he has put up as he has never shown signs of his love to Ophelia during the play other than in the past before the play’s time. As Spaeth says, “Ophelia does not occupy Hamlet’s thoughts in his soliloquies” hence showing his lack of love towards her.
