Word entry- Hamlet Act II #2

1. "And with a look so piteous in purport as if he had been loosed out of hell to speak of horrors" (Pg1328)

2. I think this word could mean that hamlet was trying to purposely give ophelia this look, he wanted her to see what he was feeling.

3. Purport- to convey to the mind as the meaning or thing intended; express or imply. (Dictionary.com)

4. This word just means that the look on Hamlet's face was pitiful. He looked sad and broken hearted.  His clothes were messed up, he was pale, and he needed to talk to Ophelia.
