Recommended: The moral behind hamlet

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Lord Polonius gives fatherly advice while ultimately shows the path of true success to his son Laertes. Throughout the text, Polonius talks to Laertes in a straightforward yet caring tone that guides the way to understand Polonius’s views on life for his son. “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice, take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.” This shows some of the “rules of life” that Polonius wants to give. The main point however, is that Polonius wants his son to be his true self to truly become successful in his life. “This above all: to thine owneself be true.” This was his main advice and Shakespeare’s overall message in this passage. Equally important, “Forever Young,” written by Bob

  • The Concept of Staying True in Hamlet by William Shakespeare

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man" (Shakespeare 1794). This piece of guidance from Polonius to Laertes will be hard for many of the key players in Hamlet to follow, and will lead to their detriment. Shakespeare uses this advice as a continuous motif that foreshadows what will spread among major players in Hamlet such as: Ophelia, Polonius, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Hamlet. Many of these characters cause their own self-destruction by following others’ wishes and not being true to their own desires.

  • Contrast Between Kipling And Polonius In Hamlet

    In the text’s, Polonius in Hamlet by William Shakespeare and “If” by Rudyard Kipling, both advise their son’s on what it takes to become a successful man. The speakers of “If” contain a multitude of characteristics deemed essential to the ideal man. In particular, a man must be humble, patient, respectful, honest and dependable. How his son must continue to have faith in himself when others doubt him.

Be friendly but not overly friendly. The speakers of “If” and Polonius’ advice present vastly different content, purpose and tone due to Polonius’ concern

  • Analysis Of Denying Humanity In Pursuit Of Revenge

    1751 Words  | 4 Pages

    This piece takes into account Hamlet’s thoughts of suicide, how his revenge will affect Claudius’ soul, and his dislike of deceit and other violations of Christian law to emphasize Hamlet’s devoutness. This devoutness is demonstrative of Hamlet’s strong moral compass and willingness to follow his conscience. This same consideration of one’s conscience is not demonstrated by two other characters in Hamlet who are in situations similar to Hamlet’s, Laertes and Fortinbras. Laertes is the son of a noble man named Polonius, who Hamlet accidentally murders because he mistook him for Claudius. Fortinbras is the Prince of Norway, whose father was killed by Old King Hamlet in war. All three of these young men have faced the death of their father, and pursue justice. However, Hamlet’s deep sense of morality binds him to Christian doctrine, which prevents him from immediately taking action toward avenging his father’s death. Laertes and Fortinbras lack this dominant moral compass possessed by Hamlet. This is made clear by their immediate, aggressive pursuit of vengeance and their employment of deception as means to an end.

  • Incest And Sexism In Hamlet

    652 Words  | 2 Pages

    Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia. His contribution to the ideology of sexism and incest is not as direct as the other characters but it is just as significant. His daughter, Ophelia, is deeply in love with the title character, Hamlet. Polonius constantly observes the suspicious relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet. He tries to intervene between his daughter’s relationships with Hamlet. Since her love for Hamlet is so strong, Ophelia becomes disobedient and rebellious to her father just so that she could make a way to fulfill the needs of Hamlet. Polonius tries to help Ophelia understand that she is basically “bait” to Hamlet and she must avoid falling for his word but she refuses to listen. Along with Polonius, his son Laertes is also attempting to protect Ophelia from Hamlet.

  • Isolation as the Root of Hamlet's Torment

    1649 Words  | 4 Pages

    ...is inaction. The tragic hero walks a very lonely role, and this seclusion probably deserves a mention in literature's eternal search for the roots of his torment. With words more sage than he realizes, Polonius condenses Hamlet's entire struggle into a single poignant idea: "The origin and commencement of his grief / Sprung from neglected love" (3.1, 180-181). Polonius and Laertes derail Ophelia's tenderness, and Claudius' persuasion steals the heart of Gertrude. A unanimous lack of mourning scoffs at Hamlet's deep esteem for his fallen father and even the companionship of his childhood friends succumbs to Claudius' menacing demands. The end result is a huge gulf between ally and adversary, a gulf that ultimately plummeted Hamlet to the depths of psychological torment.

  • Analytical Essay: Polonius

    699 Words  | 2 Pages

    Polonius is a father first and foremost in this story. He is a man who has seen a lot and understands much about the world around him and the people in it. The most Polonius is heard in the play is when he tries to impart wisdom to his children in act 1 scene 3. This shows off a lot about who he is and his world view. I think Polonius character is a perfect example of a person bound by society and the philosophy of one such person and this can be seen in his character, his philosophy and the influence upon him.

  • This above all, to thine own self be true: Being True to Yourself

    Although many works of literature are very long, the main idea can be summarized in one or two of its lines. In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the most important line is: “This above all, to thine own self be true, / And it must follow, as the night the day, / Thou canst not then be false to any man” (1.3, 78-80). Spoken by Polonius, this advice is present throughout the entire play, together with the motifs of truth and lying. The characters desire to be true to themselves; however, some of them are not true to others.

  • Polonius is a Good Father in Hamlet

    603 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before Laertes is about to go to France, Polonius talks to him and tells him all of his good advice. While Polonius tells Laertes all of his good advice, he says, “My blessing with thee'; (I.iii.61). This statement shows that Polonius really wants Laertes to be successful when he goes to France. Polonius says, “Beware of entrance to a quarrel';, (I.iii.69) because he wants him to be safe. Polonius wants Laertes to stay out of trouble, and to be friendly with everyone he meets. Another point Polonius wants to make is that it is better to listen than to talk. “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice'; (I.iii.72). Polonius believes that it is better to listen too much than to talk too much, because sometimes people who talk too much get into trouble, and others don’t like them. Whereas, people who listen more than they talk rarely have others who don’t like them and they don’t get into much trouble. Another way Polonius tells Laertes to stay out of trouble is when he says, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be'; (I.iii.80). This is important because sometimes when things are borrowed, the lender will get mad that the borrower didn’t return when it was needed or the borrower ruined part of it. Even when it is an accident, it is still better to not borrow or lend anything from anyone just in case one person has a short temper. Polonius lastly and most importantly tells Laertes, “This above all to thine own self be true';. This is good advice because if people are not true to themselves, then they can’t really be true to anyone else. Polonius believes that Laertes should have enough self-respect to be true to himself.

  • Psychological Manipulation in Hamlet by William Shakespeare

    1320 Words  | 3 Pages

    ... the only way to honour his father Polonius is by killing Hamlet. In addition, as Claudius reads the letter from Hamlet to Laertes he says “'Tis Hamlet’s character. “Naked” And in a postscript here, he says “alone.” Can you advise me?” (IV, VII, 52-53). This shows that Claudius takes advantage of Hamlet’s return alone as an opportunity for Laertes to kill him. Through Claudius’s actions the readers observe how he deceives Laertes into killing Hamlet for his own benefit without getting blood on his hands. Furthermore, Claudius’ desperation to kill Hamlet leads to him losing sight of what is important, which is being the king of Denmark, what he originally wanted, instead the lies he told and the manipulation he spread is now taking over. To conclude, it is evident through the play that the words and actions of Claudius have only lead to the spread of deception.

  • The Comedy of Hamlet

    1182 Words  | 3 Pages

    Polonius is over-eager and tries to give unwanted advice, during the play he is tactless and often rude. For instance, Polonius is a comic relief during his conversation with Gertrude and Claudius regarding Hamlet’s madness. Polonius rambling through his conversation contrasts with Gertrude’s seriousness of wanting to find out the reason to Hamlet’s madness. As Polonius begins to deliver to the king and queen the results of his investigation, he makes this statement, “My liege, and madam, to expostulate/ What majesty should be, what duty is,/ What day is day, night is night, and time is time,/ Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;/ Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,/ And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,/ I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. . . .”(IIii,86-92) . Polonius’ speech is windy and nonsensical he wastes ti...
