Scene I of Act II of the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a scene in which much is revealed. In this scene, Polonius sends his servant Reynaldo to France to see Laertes and also to spy on him. As Reynaldo is about to leave, Ophélie enters the scene and she is very distraught. She explains to Polonius that Hamlet had confronted her in a very neglected state. Hamlet grabbed her wrist and held her there for a few moments, then he sighed. During this entire meeting, Hamlet did not speak. Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is madly in love with Ophelia and that, in addition to the fact that Polonius is forcing Ophelia to distance herself from Hamlet, this is the reason for this meeting. The scene ends with Polonius going to Claudius to tell him his idea. This scene shows 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 Reynaldo 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: "Lord Hamlet with his doublet without reinforcement, without hat on his head, his stockings soiled, without garter and gyped up to the ankle. Pale as his shirt, his knees knock. 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 cause Hamlet to behave this way, so he asks if Hamlet is "Mad about your love?" (II, i, 94) This scene is full of 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 think this is important because Shakespeare was an author who put hidden meanings into all of his works and noticing things in the play can be difficult, but having to reread just a little bit showed me how the ghost uses the the idea of ​​having poison poured on him. in his ear to describe how all of Denmark is deceived when he says, “Now, Hamlet, listen. » It is said that, while sleeping in my orchard, a snake bit me; thus the whole ear of Denmark is grievously mistreated by a falsified process of my death; but know, noble young man, that the serpent that bit your father's life now wears his crown. (I, v, 39-45)This reuse of the idea of ​​pouring poison into one's ear doesn't seem to be very important but it's something I missed the first time by reading too quickly.
