Portia was in the Merchant of Venice - "The quality of mercy" speech. Hamlet's love interest was Orphelia (Get thee to a nunnery, go!) Here endeth the Shakespeare lesson....

Yes, Ophelia was the girl in Hamlet. Portia was a character in the Merchant of Venice. Also the name of Brutus' wife in Julius Caesar.
