Hamlet Unexpectedly Returns, Finds Lover Dead!

Our dear Prince Hamlet has returned! But what a sad return it is to come home to his lover dead. Some have said that it was his own fault because of the complex twist of events that have unfolded previously. If Hamlet had been bold enough to exercise his revenge on Claudius upon his discovery of his father's murder none of this would have happened. If he had done the dead then he would not have mistakenly killed Polonius, his lover's father, nor would he have been sent to the dump of a country England. If neither of these had happened she may not have been driven mad or killed herself. After Hamlets return and discovery of her death he exclaims "I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers /Could not with all their quantity of love /Make up my sum." (V.i.47-49). It has long been under suspicion whether actually loved Ophelia but now we actually know, he loved her dearly and her death indeed caused him much grief.
