Ophelia has captured Hamlet’s love and is also in love with him herself. Hamlet constantly mistreats and deceives her, took her innocence, and eventually leaves her even though he promised that he would marry her. Ophelia is constantly a victim of Hamlet and his treatment of going back and forth between his strong love for her and harsh words towards her; he is constantly using her as a tool to get what he wants.

Much Ado About Nothing, a Shakespearean comedy written in the seventeenth century, is a play centered on complicated relationships caused by love and misdirection. The protagonists, Claudio, Benedick, Hero, and Beatrice, are in love with each other (Claudio and Hero, Benedick and Beatrice), but certain constraints, past relationships and propaganda, keep them apart. Focusing on Benedick and Beatrice, in Act I, their relationship consists of a banterous battle between the two, with obvious hostility shown through their constant insulting but mutual respect gained from the appreciation of the other’s intelligence. Their relationship evolves as they relate to each other more, and as they are told that the other loves them, their love finally forms. However, to get there, what stands between Beatrice and Benedick’s love is their precarious past relationship with one another, the volatility of their natures, and their belief that the other dislikes them.
