....and I think a Lady named Portia was Hamlet`s Love interest - her name spelled differently though... ;-)

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.

My High School English teacher would be so proud of me... the wizened up menopausal old bitch - turned me off writing for decades...
