Yeah Hi, I was wondering, i was reading a section further on, and I was wondering if in Hamlet the actual flower Daisy appears in order to use it as evidence to what a modern audience can still recognise. Also I put a question at the end of a thread about silent women or something, is there any chance you could answer that for me as well please? thanks

daisy = unhappy love, or dissembling, or seduction. It is also the flower with which girls commonly played the game of ‘He loves me - he loves me not’, the last petal indicating the answer.
