Hamlet's true nature isn't shown often in the play, as he puts on a guise of madness throughout. However this is a moment where we see how truly egocentric Hamlet is. He can not stand the idea that another could be recognized for loving Ophelia as much as he; thus he takes it upon himself to out do Laertes.

When does Hamlet vent his anger on someone who didn't deserve it?
Most noticeably when he arranges for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's death when they were just the messengers. His anger at Ophelia, Gertrude and Polonius may also be seen as misplaced. It is Claudius who he should be angry with. Hamlet is angry with his mother, but his mother had no part in the death of Hamlet's father nor did she know that Claudius had killed him.

What part does Ophelia play in the plan of Polonius and the King What is her reaction to the way Hamlet speaks to her?
Ophelia is bait. She is to engage Hamlet in conversation while Polonius and the King are secretly listening in, hoping that he will reveal to her the reason for his strange behaviour. But Ophelia is not entirely on board with this plan, about which she was never consulted, and she tries to steer the conversation away from revealing details. Hamlet's explosion of anger when he realizes that the conversation is a set-up, and Ophelia is privy to it, convinces Ophelia that he really is crazy ("O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown.") while at the same time convincing Claudius that he is not ("what he spake, though it lacked form a little, was not like madness.").
What is the name of the antagonist in Hamlet?
Claudius, the king is Hamlet's major antagonist. He is a shrewd, lustful, conniving king who contrasts sharply with the other male characters in the play. Whereas most of the other important men in Hamlet are preoccupied with ideas of justice, revenge, and moral balance, Claudius is bent upon maintaining his own power. The old King Hamlet was apparently a stern warrior, but Claudius is a corrupt politician whose main weapon is his ability to manipulate others through his skillful use of language. Claudius's speech is compared to poison being poured in the ear-the method he used to murder Hamlet's father. Claudius's love for Gertrude may be sincere, but it also seems likely that he married her as a strategic move, to help him win the throne away from Hamlet after the death of the king. As the play progresses, Claudius's mounting fear of Hamlet's insanity leads him to ever greater self-preoccupation; when Gertrude tells him that Hamlet has killed Polonius, Claudius does not remark that Gertrude might have been in danger, but only that he would have been in danger had he been in the room. He tells Laertes the same thing as he attempts to soothe the young man's anger after his father's death. Claudius is ultimately too crafty for his own good. In Act V, scene ii, rather than allowing Laertes only two methods of killing Hamlet, the sharpened sword and the poison on the blade, Claudius insists on a third, the poisoned goblet. When Gertrude inadvertently drinks the poison and dies, Hamlet is at last able to bring himself to kill Claudius, and the king is felled by his own cowardly
