She's a Popular Girl, That Ophelia

Learning all sorts of fun trivia from Sitemeter. For example, the most popular page on my site, aside from the main one, is my page on how I'm positive Ophelia is pregnant. (Rue, remember, is an abortifacient.) I wonder if this will keep up or if somewhere a classroom is looking up theories of Ophelia on the Net?

I came across your post whilst researching different intrepretations of Ophlia for my A-level course. My teacher was sceptical about the theory, however i found another quote to back the idea up. In Act 2 Scene 2, whilst Hamlet is assuming his 'antic disposition', he tells Polonius that 'Conception is a blessing, but as your daughter may concieve - friend look to't'.
Just thought I'd add another one to the list!
