Hamlet Act I Scene 3

Leading off from Hamlets outrage at his serpent-like uncle, Scene 3 starts off with Laertes talking with his sister, Ophelia about her affection with Hamlet. Laertes seems to not trust his motives and warns his sister about possible outcomes. Ophelia hears the sense in his argument but seems to be in love with Hamlet and believes that he really does have true feelings for her. Polonius, Ophelia and Laertes’ father enters and backs up his son’s point.  Mentioning that she does not lose her virginity with him or have any sexual contact as neither of them trust Hamlet as they believe he only wants to get rid of his sexual desires, being an adolescent teen. Realizing Ophelia does not care as much as the first time , being the same thing repeated multiple times, even Polonius apologizes for his use of repetition.
