The way hamlet treats Ophelia in this act is very interesting to say the least.
First of all it is influenced by the fact that Hamlet knows (or at least has a very good guess) that Ophelia is acting as Polonius's tool to find the cause of his madness.
So Hamlet drops some hints of still loving Ophelia while mixing them with utterings of slander and nonsense. Hamlets interactions with (and perhaps even true feelings for) Ophelia are also influenced by Hamlets mother's actions. Hamlet is Exceedingly angry at his mother for being so fickle with his recently deceased father, and those events also taint his opinion of women in general.
And thats a wrap! Not much more to say.
