Once upon a time, young girl who was the daughter of an awful queen was up in her castle drawing a picture of the view from her window of the pruned flower filled lawn. Her mother knocked at her door. The young girl was forbidden of drawing, her father had died and was an amazing artist, and ever since no art was aloud in the kingdom. The young girl didn't obey the rule because she had an over powering love for art, however she was scared to get caught so she tucked the drawing away. Her mother began to scold her for not getting ready for the royal ball that was to begin later that very night. Her mother always told her it was her fault when ever they were late or something went wrong...
it needs to be finished but here's a start haha hope it's okay...
I believe that the best answer for this question is an allusion. An allusion is a literary device where a writer refers to some other work of literature in their own work of literature in order to make some point or add emphasis. Here, T.S. Eliot is referring to Hamlet by Shakespeare. The speaker is asserting that he is not indecisive, as Hamlet is. Rather, he is like Polonius, a servant of the king in Hamlet. Polonius is a very cautious character but is overall fairly useless. I hope this helps.
