From the novel; Hamlet
This question is based on William Shakespeare’s Hamlet
‘Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister;
And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shoot and danger of danger of desire.
The Chariest maid is prodigal enough if she unmask her beauty to the moon.
In the excerpt above, Laertes warns Ophelia to beware of Hamlet’s attentions because
- of his insanity
- such attentions cannot be given by too young a person
- of his mournful state
-
the sincerity of his love is in doubt
