About Ophelia

Okay, maybe I should have called this one Ophelia.  She seems to be a mature young woman, possibly even older than her brother.  It doesn't seem right that her brother is giving her a lecture.  I realize that Leontes and Poloneus expect all men to act as they would, but it seems odd.  Fortunately, her reaction is more sarcastic than listening.  Her father and brother are all about appearances, with little care for actual goodness or badness.

  1. Obviously Ophelia and Laertes have heard this lecture before.
