Answer 2

Hamlet: Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?

Ophelia:’Tis brief, my lord

Hamlet:As woman’s love

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, Hamlet is flirting with Ophelia while they are watching a play. Hamlet mentions sex to Ophelia but she does not like it. She is chaste and she obeys men. She does what her father, Polonius and her brother, Laertes , tell her to do. Hamlet was in love with her in the past and now, he criticises her. This is the reason why he thinks that the prologue of the play is short as a woman's love.
