In shakespeare's "hamlet," what is some textual evidence that could suggest that ophelia was actually pregnant with hamlet's child during the play? so far, i've noticed a few things:
1. conversations between hamlet and polonius are full of innuendos relating to ophelia and her virginity;
2. ophelia saved some rue for herself when handing out flowers, and rue is a known abortifacient;
3. ophelia's songs clearly allude to her intimate physical relationship with hamlet;
4. drowning was a common method of suic*de for unmarried pregnant women at the time, and ophelia drowned herself.
any quotes (with act, scene, and page number) or other analysis would be ! !

Have you ever thought you understood a person based on a story that you have heard about them? have you ever guessed about a person's personal life because of the clothes they wore? or, have you judged a person because of their friends? although classifying people in this way is typically discouraged, authors deliberately use your preconceived ideas to you form an opinion about the character or to at least have a better understanding. can you think of a time that you made a character call about someone based on external aspects? were you correct, or incorrect? has anyone ever made an incorrect assessment of you based on external aspects? write two paragraphs about it in your journal.
