    Oh my, Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of my all time favorites.

    It definitely takes some time getting used to it and one has to re read it many times to get a full understanding.

    During the time period, the nunnery was where they sent loose women or those who had frequent encounters of a sexual nature.

    So Hamlet basically called Ophelia a rude name for someone who sleeps around.
