While Ophelia and Hamlet are conversing I noticed that it was witty and clever first hand with sexual innuendos; however, Shakespeare uses some slang that are sexual slang that are used as regular words now, such as nothing. I thought this conversation was interesting and almost served as a comic relief to the tension that is carried out throughout the play. During the play, Hamlet kept talking, so I imagine it was annoying for the people watching to hear, but when Claudius ordered the whole play to stop I thought that was a little excessive, I understand he is guilty, but he did not need to ruin it for everyone, at least it proved his guilt though.
