Act II Scene I of William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a scene in which many things are revealed. In this scene Polonius sends his servant Raynald to France to see Laertes and also to spy on him. As Reynaldo is leaving, Ofelia enters the scene and is very upset. She explains to Polonius that Hamlet had confronted her in a very disheveled state. Hamlet had grabbed her wrist and held her there for a few moments and then sighed. Throughout this meeting Hamlet did not speak. Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is hopelessly in love with Ophelia and that in addition to the fact that Polonius forces Ophelia to distance herself from Hamlet, this is the reason for this meeting. The scene ends with Polonius going to see Claudius to explain his idea to him. This scene shows signs of dramatic irony because Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is mad because he is in love with Ophelia but the audience knows that Hamlet is only pretending to be mad. This scene is divided into two different parts, the first between Rinaldo and Polonius and the second between Ophelia and Polonius. The dramatic irony is found in the second part and not in the first. In the second part of the scene Ophelia tells Polonius about Hamlet's strange behavior and says: "The lord Hamlet with his doublet unfastened, without a hat on his head, his stockings dirty, without a garter and lowered to the ankle, pale as his shirt, his knees that beat." each other, and with such a pitiful look as if he had been released from hell to speak of horrors, he comes before me. (II, i, 86-92) After hearing this description, Polonius assumes that only one thing could make Hamlet behave this way, so he asks if Hamlet is "mad for your love?" (II, i, 94) This scene is filled with beautiful spoken language in the middle of the paper… take my time and fully understand what Shakespeare was trying to convey with every word he wrote. I feel like this is important because Shakespeare was an author who put hidden meanings in all of his work and noticing things in the work can be difficult, but having to reread just a little showed me how the ghost uses the idea of ​​getting poured of venom in his ear to describe how all Denmark is deceived when he says, “Now, Hamlet, listen.” It is said that, while sleeping in my orchard, a snake stung me; thus the whole ear of Denmark was violently insulted on account of my death; but know, noble youth, the serpent that stung your father's life now wears his crown. (I, v, 39-45) This reuse of the idea of ​​pouring poison into the ear doesn't seem to be very important but it was something I missed the first time because I read too quickly.
