Detailed explanation-1: -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. All through the scene Claudius and Polonius, Ophelia’s father, are hiding and watching what happens.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet is cruel to Ophelia because he has transferred his anger at Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius onto Ophelia. In fact, Hamlet’s words suggest that he transfers his rage and disgust for his mother onto all women. He says to Ophelia, “God has given you one face and you make yourselves another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet insults her virtue and tells her that, while he may have loved her once, he certainly doesn’t love her now. After Hamlet departs, Claudius and Polonius reenter, newly suspicious that Hamlet’s madness isn’t lovesickness after all.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ophelia, left alone on stage, grieves the loss of Hamlet’s mind and her own misfortune. Prior to this moment, Ophelia is taken aside by King Claudius and her father, Polonius. They order Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet-referencing his erratic behaviour.
