The system of primogeniture which was in effect in Shakespeare's day and still applies to the monarchy now, did not always apply. Frequently monarchs were elected rather than selected by virtue of being the eldest son. Shakespeare alludes to this when Hamlet says that Claudius "popped in between the election and my hopes", and when he predicts that " th' election lights on Fortinbras."

Why did Hamlet tell ophelia to join a nunnery?
Nuns cannot marry so Hamlet wanted Ophelia to stay away from him and he did'nt want to be married to her. Another possibility was Ophelia could have been pregnant. During this time women who became pregnant went to nunneries when they started to show. They didnt want anyone to know they were pregnant.
Why didnt the Claudius confront Hamlet directley after the death of polonius?
There is no background on Claudius' rule. He could have very well have been a better king than Hamlet's father. Hamlet was so consumed with hatred, that he did not even kill the king for the people, he killed him for himself. Plus, he left the nation powerless to the invading nation. He was selfish and filled with hatred. If he had a problem with Claudius and his Mother, he should have talked it out with them. Claudius brought in Hamlet's friends to find out what was wrong with him, and all Hamlet did was have them killed. Hamlet was not a tragic hero, he was a villain.

Who Hamlet loves?
Ophelia loves Hamlet and is devastated by his rejection of her--it is one reason she loses her mind. Gertrude also loves Hamlet; this becomes apparent in the Closet scene, and her behaviour afterwards. Hamlet unfortunately does not return either of their loves with the intensity with which they give it.
