Shakespeare Searched
I just discovered a site that allows you to search all of Shakespeare’s plays for whatever you like. I immediately set about reading every line uttered by the poor sweet noble Ophelia in Hamlet.
I’m having an Ophelia kind of day I think, perhaps it’s Wilma Anniversary whiplash. Or maybe I really do have dengue…or maybe one day off a week isn’t actually enough r&r.
Hamlet – Act 2, Scene 1
Lord Polonius
84. With what, i’ the name of God?Ophelia
85. My lord, as I was sewing in my closet,
86. Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced;
87. No hat upon his head; his stockings foul’d,
88. Ungarter’d, and down-gyved to his ancle;
89. Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other;
90. And with a look so piteous in purport
91. As if he had been loosed out of hell
92. To speak of horrors,–he comes before me.Lord Polonius
93. Mad for thy love?
Mad indeed.
