The writer of this paper also discusses in detail the play which is open to many interpretations, all of which are attached to the character and motivations of Hamlet.

From the Paper:

"His courtship of Ophelia seems to be a product of his impaired mental state, since at first he courts her, but when she begins to return his affections he shuns her with a cruelty that drives her to madness and death. Hamlet's agitated state is observed by everyone around him, and each is affected by his irrational actions. Ophelia believes that the reason he acts so strangely is that she has refused to see him."
