WeekXI-Ophelia Treatment

               Hamlets treatment of Ophelia is in the nicest of words, rough; Not that she didn't deserve it. He seemed to want her to feel sorry for betraying him, because right after the beginning pleasantries of their conversation, it starts to sound more like an interrogation.  He directly insults her honesty, saying that she is been deceiving him by seduction."To a nunnery, go." are his parting words to her which could might mean two different things. It might mean she should save herself from continuing her deceitful ways, or that she should go back to he father, the "Fishmonger", and leave him be.
