Shakespeare and Abortion

William Shakespeare's masterpiece Hamlet contains implied references to an attempted abortion, with Ophelia's mention of the abortifacients "rosemary and rue" – followed by the tragic fate of both Ophelia and Hamlet. [1] Multiple lines in the play suggest this, yet this is rarely never mentioned when Hamlet is taught. [2]

Shakespeare's portrayal of the wealthy, privileged Ophelia and Hamlet as borderline insane and suicidal may reflect his disapproval of abortion and his belief that fate is not kind to those who use it. Shakespeare was a devout Christian.

Feminists see Ophelia as a victim of men, and if she attempted an abortion then that would support this. But they ignore the tragic outcome for Ophelia.
