I think that Hamlet really does love Ophelia. He was just acting out towards he because he knew she would tell her father and then her father would tell his mother and Claudius. In order for his actions to be realistic he had to act nuts towards Ophelia too. But I also think that the way he is acting is not working out the way he planned. He wanted his mother to see how her marriage to Claudius was affecting him but I honestly think his actions are just pushing her closer to Claudius and farther away from him. This is leading him to be even more depressed than he already was. This might cause him to actually go crazy so even though he said he was going to act crazy, it might not be so much of an act anymore.
