Answer 1

Hamlet, it is one of the most famous play written by Shakespeare who was the master of writing and this play were became more famous because of Hamlet and the fight which fought for justice. The play starts with a very normal life of Hamlet but after some years when Hamlet becomes younger he started to think about his father's death and tried a lot of things to know about the reason behind the death but nobody has told him, and suddenly one day he was alone in the garden with the soldiers of his palace and he was talking about his father's death. and suddenly he saw a shade of his father at the night, that shadow was told to him that the killer is inside this palace and he tried to kill me just because to marry your mother and to take the kingship of Denmark, and the killer is Claudius who killed me through entering the poison into my ear. From that time Hamlet started to think to take revenge from the Claudius but due to some situation the procrastination situation were created which are:

• The first thing which Hamlet thinks about himself that if he will become a murder then he will be an undisciplined person which gone against the rule of his life.
• Hamlet tries to motivate himself about the situation that would it be right to kill or not?
• Sometimes Hamlet becomes frustrated by the situation because when he saw his mother that how happy she is with him and the trust which she does on him, after seeing this he thinks differently.
• Many times he thinks about the shadow to the ghost which appeared there for revenge purpose, and he decides to kill Claudius but he was not sure about the plan which Hamlet made, it may be unsuccessful.
• But lastly, when Hamlet went through the whole process which he saw in his whole life, he thinks to kill the real murderer and finally he has taken revenge by killing Claudius with the help of Laertes and by the help of Ophelia.
• This tragedy ends with the procrastination taken from Claudius which Hamlet has taken after the many delays and many applied logics which Hamlet chooses.

Polonius was a true person who supported the decision of the king and he was a loyal person, who was the legal advisor of the king Claudius, and he was a caring after who always protected his children's from every situation, but there is some reason behind the responsibility od Ophelia and his son Laertes which he completed through his servant Rayeldo which are:

• Polonius wanted to keep their children safe and secure with the society.
• Polonius never wanted that the step who is taken by Ophelia should be wrong.
• The relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia was real and Hamlet really love Ophelia but Polonius was against this relationship and he wanted to send Hamlet to outside of Denmark.
• The friendship between Laertes and Hamlet was very good and this can't be seen by the Polonius and started to keep eyes on them through Rayeldo.
• Laertes was known for the relationship between his sister Ophelia and Hamlet and he agreed because Hamlet was a nice guy. but Polonius was the advisor of Claudius and Claudius was the stranger who had killed Hamlet's father. Due to the Claudis Polonius was not agree.
• But lastly, Ophelia has died because his father did not agree with her decision.

so, we can say that none side Polonius was a good person who always cared for his children's but somewhere he was bounded by the decision of Claudius because he works under the Claudius and Claudius interrupted in Polonius's life and that's why we can say that Claudius was the wrong person in the whole story because he did wrong to everyone's life either with Hamlet or either with Polonius's children.
