Polonius is considered a fool to some people‚ because Hamlet is making it seem that way‚ he wants to put Polonius down‚ and make Polonius seem like a fool. Hamlet is rude to Polonius‚ and constantly making fun of him. At one point Hamlet calls Polonius a “fishmonger”. Hamlet then makes his

the role of the fool in the opening of King Lear? In the opening of King Lear‚ we don’t see or really hear about the Fool until Act 1 Scene 4‚ to me this suggest that the importance of the Fool earlier in the play is not really significant. Although this can be seen as quite ironic as I know in Shakespearean times‚ there would always be a fool of some sort‚ who is used to enlighten the mood of the King or of the higher archie by its humour and sarcastic tone. We first see the Fool after Kent is

Prof. Robertson Fools of Fortune by William Trevor is a wonderful novel that follows an Anglo-Irish family set in post WWI Ireland. The novel explores a great many themes throughout and causes readers to be thoroughly engaged to follow it’s back and forth through time and many premises. Perhaps in this novel there is no greater theme than that of decay. Decay is evident throughout this work from it’s inception up through the conclusion. Right at the beginning of the novel‚ in the first

Through clever characterization‚ underlying symbolism‚ and an in-depth point of view‚ the short story "Gimpel the Fool"‚ written by Isaac Bashevis Singer‚ clearly reinforces the age-old concept that repentance‚ along with good deeds‚ will ultimately be rewarded in time. Gimpel’s whole-hearted yet gullible characterization weaves an important pattern in the story’s meaning. The deeply embedded religious connotation and use of dynamic symbols both aid in allowing the reader to pick out the lesson

Gimpel‚ in my opinion‚ was foolish‚ but at the same time‚ by the definition of “little man” as stated in the interview‚ not little. The definition of “little man” in the interview is “a poor but proud

Relationships between a Fool and his monarch were determined by the boldness of the Fool alongside the King’s tolerance. Fools had a certain amount of comedic licence‚ often uttering
