Characterization

Hamlet 

Witty

Hamlet and Ophelia are conversing before the play that Hamlet wrote. The prologue comes out and describes what will happen. Hamlet ponders about the prologue.

"Is this a prologue or the posy of a ring?"
"'Tis brief, my lord."
"As woman's love" (3.2.173-175)

Hamlet asks for his mother's opinion on the play. Since the play is about their family and the death of the late king, his mother is a bit on edge about it.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
"O, but she'll keep her word." (3.2.254-255)

Hamlet is talking to his mother after the play. Since the play was about the king and queen's unholy deeds, the king is upset about it. Hamlet, on the other hand, wants to respects his father's honor.

"Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended."
"Mother, you have my father much offended."

Exasperated

Hamlet is speaking to his mother after the play that was all about the king and queen's incestuous relationship. Apparently, the king is very offended. The queen questions Hamlet on his rashness and why he made the play the way he did.

"Have you forgot me?"
"No, by the rood, not so. You are the Queen, your husband's brother's wife, And (would it were not so) you are my mother" (3.4.19-21)

Hamlet hears a voice behind a tapestry when he arrives to talk to his mother. He believes it to be Claudius, and stabs the curtain without checking who is behind. The person behind the tapestry turns out to be Polonius and the Queen questions Hamlet what he has done.

"O me, what hast thou done?"
"Nay, I know not. Is it the king?" (3.4.31-32)

After Hamlet accidentally murders Polonius, the queen is terrified. Hamlet's reply is full of harsh, secrets that are released.

"O, what a rash and bloody deed is this!"
"A bloody deed- almost as bad, good mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother" (3.4.33-35).

Ophelia

Sad

The king and queen are talking about using Ophelia as bait. The queen wishes Ophelia good luck.

"...So shall I hope your virtues Will bring him to his wonted way again, To both your honors."
"Madam, I wish it may" (3.1.44-47)

Hamlet rambles about how Ophelia isn't chaste and how she shouldn't marry. He made her sad when he says his infamous line "Get thee to a nunnery." By using this entire speech, Hamlet made Ophelia sad about the fact that she likes him.

"And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That sucked the honey of his musicked vows, (3.1.169-170)

Ophelia is sad after Hamlet gives her his entire speech on how she isn't chaste and how their love is invalid.

"...O, woe is me T' have seen what I have seen, see what I see!" (3.1.175)

Tolerant


The prologue enters the stage for Hamlet's play. Ophelia asks if he'll explain the play to them. Hamlet gives a sarcastic response as usual. 

"You are naught, you are naught. I'll mark the play." (3.2.168-169)

Hamlet is in a suspiciously cheery mood, and tries to smart talk Ophelia. However, she immediately catches on to his slyness.

"You are keen, my lord, you are keen." (3.2.272)

Hamlet is perceived as mad and Ophelia is sent in as the bait. They have an altercation about Ophelia's chastity and love for Hamlet.

"You should not have believed me, for virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it. I loved you not."
"I was the more deceived."
