There was once an old lady who walked into a bank, holding a big sack of money. She demanded to speak with the president of the bank. After a few minutes of arguing with a staff, they finally relented. "Uh, hello ma'am," The president greeted. "How can I help-" He stopped and stared at her sack of money. "Where did you get that?" He asked, gesturing towards the bag of money. "Bets," She smiled, "in fact, I want to bet with you right now! I bet you $20,000 that you have square toes, and I would like to bring my lawyer as a witness! Tomorrow!" "Fine," The president laughed. The next day, the president didn't have square toes, as the lady held his toes in her hands and examined them herself. The funny part, though she lost that bet, she won another one for $100,000, and it was that she would hold the president of the bank's toes.
This excerpt is from 'The Hamlet'.
Explanation:
Ophelia says that Hamlet has made sincere proclamations of his love for her. Polonius answers, Tender yourself more dearly. Polonius means Ophelia should be more careful and judge to whom she has to give her affection.
Shakespeare uses humor in this scene but the humor is subtle as it describes the conflict between Ophelia and her father.
The tone creates despair and disgust among the readers. The story is about her love for Hamlet and loyalty to her father.
Polonius depicts Hamlet as unreliable and to have intentions that are not noble.
The Duke is conversing with an emissary of a tally. The Duke is attempting to wed the check's little girl, so he is endeavoring to awe the emissary. In portraying the sketch of his latest duchess, he imparts more about himself than he does of his late spouse. He takes note of that the Duchess' look of "euphoria" in the work of art is not on the grounds that he was available amid the artistic creation.
