In Scene IV of Act I, Ophelia begins to talk to her father about the growing relationship between her and Hamlet. Although she believes he is real, her father does not think so as he is a prince and tells her that she is no longer allowed to see him. She is unable to express herself or her feelings for others if she does not follow her father's standards. In Act III, Scene I, after Hamlet began to become distracted and no one knew what was wrong with him, Ophelia was sent to ask him for information. No matter how much she loves Hamlet, she will betray him to follow her father's orders. In Act III, Scene II, there is a theatrical performance for the royal family and guests. Hamlet mocks her and asks her if she should lie on his lap and then continues to tell her to go to the convent, she can't do anything about it. The only way he can keep his reputation and his father's honor intact is to ignore him and act like he means nothing to him.
