Three boys are no boy at all.’ It also translates as ‘one monk goes to drink water; two monks drinks together while three monks have no water to drink’. Now suppose you are one of the three monks‚ will you go far away to take water?

If drawn as a schematic the betrayals are a veritable labyrinth of double-crossings‚ falsehood and moral dereliction that pervade the play almost from the opening act. Claudius initiates it all by betraying his brother and murdering him‚ Polonius betrays his daughters trust
