Instead of his loneliness and relation isolation being the cause of his own life, it would cause the deaths of a great deal of other characters, such as his beloved Ophelia who because of his self-isolation and his self placed facade, would drive her to madness as the man she loved broke down in front of her, declaring that he never loved her, and never gave her anything. Prince Hamlet's isolation would directly lead to the death of Ophelia and would be the only thing to change Prince Hamlet's tone about death and bring down his facade, which he would drop after finding out of her death. “I loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers Could not, with all their quantity of love,
