What makes the situation even worse is when Ophelia, Hamlets love, has to obey her father and not see Hamlet.

Especially having his mother. As he progresses he realizes that his mother is human and that she has her faults, so she ceases to be an object. When Hamlet goes to talk to his mother after she summons him Hamlet vents his anger by telling her exactly what is on his mind.
