Answer: Polonius believes that the real reason for Hamlet's lunacy is his love for Ophelia.
Explanation:
In Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>, prince Hamlet decides to act as a mad man, so that he can revenge his father.
Polonius, however, believes that Hamlet has lost his mind because he loves his daughter, Ophelia, but she rejects his love. Polonius has told Ophelia that Hamlet is out of her league and ordered her not to be with him. Although she does have certain feelings for Hamlet, her father demanded that Ophelia ignores any love letters that he should send her. In <em>Act II, Scene II,</em> Polonius tells Claudius that this is the reason behind Hamlet's madness.
Myatt's central claim is that life is not fair. While we cannot control our birth, we can control our choices and attitudes.
Therefore, he argues that life is only as fair as we make it, since we control our attitude and the choices we make.
To make his point, he uses general example of people who have overcome a variety of difficulties. He uses the specific example of the young man from Africa who came to America with nothing and is now the president of a tech firm. He relates a personal anecdote about his own youth and how he overcame a stroke.
At the end of the article Myatt reiterates that life is not fair, nor should the government try to make life fair. Instead, each individual needs to overcome his or her own difficulties by changing perspective.
