Answer:
Negative connotation of peril.
Explanation:
From William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" Act I Scene iii, Leartes is warning his sister Ophelia from being too giving in terms of affection.
Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius, who is the Lord Chamberlain in King Claudius's court. Hamlet is in love with Ophelia, of which her brother is warning him against. Leartes is giving her a piece of advice about the attention that Hamlet had been giving her. He wished she would be careful of the attention that men give her, especially Hamlet. She should just "hold it a fashion and a toy in blood". The use of the word "shot" makes his argument more effective as it gave a negative connotation of peril.
