The Fool – King Lear The Royal Shakespeare Company writes of the Fool: There is no contemporary parallel for the role of Fool in the court of kings. As Shakespeare conceives it‚ the Fool is a servant and subject to punishment (’Take heed‚ sirrah – the whip ’ 1:4:104) and yet Lear’s relationship with his fool is one of friendship and dependency. The Fool acts as a commentator on events and is one of the characters (Kent being the other) who is fearless in speaking the truth. The Fool provides wit

any man. This famous bit of fatherly advice is spoken by Polonius to Laertes shortly before Laertes leaves for France‚ in Act I‚ scene iii (59–80).

Gertrude‚ Polonius does not hurt his daughter Ophelia in a direct way. Be that as it may‚ Ophelia becomes more and more depressed as a result of his interventions with Hamlet. Initially‚ Polonius instructs Ophelia to be wary of Hamlet’s love because someone of such a high status cannot love her truthfully. Because of this‚ when Hamlet enters Ophelia’s chamber with his clothes all torn‚ Polonius falsely assumes that this is because Ophelia withheld herself from him. This becomes clear when Polonius states
