Hamlet, Ophelia...old news

I think that Hamlet did love Ophelia at one point. His love notes, while not well crafted, were still love notes. He also gave her tokens. I am not real sure what that means, but he gave her tokens. There is no way he would have gone to all of that work for her if he did not in fact love her. If he just was with her because he was attracted to her, he would still try to be with her. I believe that, since he saw the ghost, he started to act wierd around her because of the fact that he is planning on killing someone. He does not wan't her to become involved with a murderer because he does love her. He is trying to shove her away with his raunchiness, by continuing to act crazy when he is around her, and by repeatedly telling her that he does not love her. It is like when you set a wild panda back into the wild.
