4. Which of my Hamlet characters said…to whom?
“Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest; but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me” (3.1.9).
Hamlet to Ophelia- he is telling her, in effect, he used her, doesn’t love her and that she should be a nun. Jerk!

6. Ophelia: “You are keen, my lord, you are keen”
Hamlet: “It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge" (3.2).
So says Hamlet to Ophelia, just after she has told him that he is "keen." Her previous comment meant that he has a sharp wit, but he turns it to sexual innuendo. What literary device is this???
"Not so, my lord, I am too much in the sun" (1.2.67).
This is Hamlet's response to the King's question, "How is it that the clouds still hang on you?" He means that the King has called Hamlet "son" once too often…!
"A little more than kin, and less than kind" (1.2.65).
Hamlet's first words in the play show him playing with words in order to state a paradox: Claudius is twice related to him, as uncle and stepfather, but it’s a less than kind relationship -- he does not consider it a warm, friendly, loving relationship.
Pun: a play on words
