Detailed explanation-1: -So when Ophelia says she’s even more deceived in hearing that Hamlet never loved her, she’s telling us she’s already been disappointed-perhaps she’s already realized this relationship was doomed, and now it’s worse, as he’s telling her that he never loved her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ophelia was completely devastated over her father’s death, “He is dead, Gone to thy deathbed, He will never come again.” When she is introduced as being mad in the play in Act IV, scene 5, she makes many references to her father’s death through a song she sings.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this part of Act 3 Scene 1, Ophelia goes to return the gifts Hamlet gave to her in the past. He confuses her with mixed messages. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why does Ophelia go mad? Ophelia goes mad because her father, Polonius, whom she deeply loved, has been killed by Hamlet. In addition, Hamlet, whom she also loved, has cruelly rejected her.
