] Laertes advice to Ophelia about Hamlet and Hamlet's "nunnery scene" decriptions of how men and women treat and trick each other are surprisingly similar.

Ophelia's rep will be ruined if she doesn't protect her chastity, but Hamlet and Laertes need not worry about their reputation/chastity. A double standard that's unfortunately still with us.

following Laertes' warnings to Ophelia they continue:

Ophelia:

I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.

LAERTES
O, fear me not.
I stay too long: but here my father comes.
