What are some questions would you ask Ophelia pertaining to Act I Scene 3 of Hamlet?

This is a great question!  In this scene Ophelia is
bombarded with the opinions of both her brother and her father in regards to her
relationship with Hamlet.  Her brother is warning to protect her virtue and her heart
because no matter how Hamlet feels about her, he is a prince, and princes don't usually
get to marry whom they want or whom they love.  They marry for political gain and for
the good of the state.  Polonius is even more harsh.  He belittles Ophelia and Hamlet's
feelings for each other and suggests that Hamlet is only using her for whatever he can
get.  Ophelia tries to defend him and their relationship, but Polonius cuts it down to
"springes to catch woodcocks!  I do know, when the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
lends the tongue vows."  He is suggesting that Hamlet will say whatever he needs to in
order to "have his way" with Opehlia.

If I were going to
interview Opehila I would ask her about how she feels about Hamlet, and I would let her
answer at length, not just cut her off like Polonius does.  I would ask her what she
speicfically means when she says that Hamlet has given her "many
tenders of his affection."  What are tenders?  Give examples.  I would ask what she
means by saying the Hamlet has "given countenance to his speech with almost all the holy
vows of heaven."  What exactly has he said?  How did he say it? What does she mean by
almost all the holy vows.  I think I would probably ask her, point
blank, if she and Hamlet are having a sexual relationship.  I would also ask her how she
feels being spoken to this way by Laertes and Polonius.  Does she see their points? Is
she hurt?  Will this affect her feelings for Hamlet?

There
are so many neat things to consider about specific things that are said to her that you
could ask her about.  Have fun thinking about what Opehlia might like to say in order to
clear the air a bit more!
