Detailed explanation-1: -He goes on to insult Ophelia and tells her to go to a nunnery. He tells her that this will be the best place for her and, by being a nun, Ophelia won’t have children and produce wicked men like his uncle.
Detailed explanation-2: -HAMLET: Get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the Protestant Elizabethan world, people used the word “nunnery” as a euphemism for “brothel.” Knowing that she is working for her father and Claudius, Hamlet accuses Ophelia of prostitution.
Detailed explanation-4: -He offers to “lie” in Ophelia’s “lap, ” and when she refuses, he assures her he meant only to rest his head there.
Detailed explanation-5: -Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?” A nunnery means convent (used mockingly to refer to brothel). Brothel, is a house where men can visit prostitutes. So, he refers to Ophelia, who is his lover, as a prostitutes; a sinful woman.
