Sexuality

The sexual relationship in Hamlet with Ophelia is major part of sexuality in how women having sex before marriage is frowned upon and women who have had sex before marriage are looked as like whores. Hamlet had used Ophelia's love and desire for him as a means of getting what he wanted and making Ophelia think that she will have him after he comes back from his studies in England. Sadly the love in this play has been destroyed because the feeling of revenge over rides the honest and sweet Hamlet into ignoring Ophelia and just continue on with his revenge against his uncle. In modern times women and men who have sex frequently without marriage are the norm in most urban environments and even suburb. Only in certain areas around the world are women still seen the same way Ophelia was seen.
