Before the Death of His Father, Hamlet was a young man in collage, courting Polonius' daughter Orphelia. She causes a debate as to why Hamlet is mad, is he love sick or truly mad? However that is cleared up early in the play after he tells her to go to a nunnery.After Hamlet accidentally kills her father, Orphelia goes insane. And while Hamlet is in England she drowns herself in a stream.
When Hamlet finds her dead apon arriving home from England he is enraged. He gets into a fight in Orphelia's grave with her Brother Laertes, Hamlet clams that he always loved Orphelia, and that he loved her more than Laertes.
