Answer:

Shakespeare capitalizes on the multiple meanings of "great" to help emphasize Hamlet’s point.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet over the death of his father, King Hamlet. And in the process of trying to avenge his father's death, hamlet exudes certain qualities of man such as appearance vs. reality, truth vs. lie, goodness over evil, love, religion, women, etc.

In Act IV scene iv, Hamlet reflects <em>"Rightly to be great / Is not to stir without great argument, / But greatly to find quarrel in a straw"</em>. This scene where Hamlet and his friends encountered Prince Fortinbras on his way to fight Poland over a small patch of land revealed to Hamlet how people are ready to shed blood over a piece of worthless land. But, even though he had much to gain by getting revenge on his father's killers, he is still indecisive.

So, <u>by repeating the word "great" and "greatly", Shakespeare helps emphasize the importance of Hamlet's point of getting his father's revenge</u>.
