On line 66 Ophelia will look up from her feet abruptly, but walk away from without looking at him slowly and ghostly, a light escape. He is frustrated that he can't get access to the sanctuary in line 67 and is being extremely blunt. As it continues his getting extremely frustrated, while he still remains seductive and Hamlet encroaches further upon Ophelia, and even she is not looking at Hamlet she reacts to his movement uncomfortably and moves again quickly away from him. In line 71 Hamlet is suggesting that Ophelia has the same intimate thoughts that he has and suggests increasingly dirty diplomacy. He is trying to get her to think less logically and more carelessly, telling her to think of the pleasure the orgasm will bring to her.
