Answer and Explanation:

The function of the Polonius-Ophelia-Laertes family is to act as an aid to the royal family, however when analyzing the work, we can see that this family has the function of establishing a counterpoint to the dominant family, showing the opposite of each other.

Both families are incomplete. The Polonius-Ophelia-Laertes family does not present the mother, while the Claudius-Gertrude-Hamlet family does not present the father. Both families have ambitious characters with plans to seize power (Claudios and Polonius). However, Claudios' plans are well structured and successful, while Polonius has disorganized and failed plans.

Both families have young melancholy people with signs of madness (Ophelia and hamlet), however, Ophelia is less contemplative and more decisive, being able to kill, even if it is necessary to kill herself, while Hamlet is more indecisive, thoughtful and cowardly about killing and keeping alive.

This question is about "Hamlet" a tragedy written by Shakespeare, which shows the life of the young Prince Hamlet and his daydreams to get revenge for the death of the father, who was murdered by Hamlet's uncle who coveted the throne.

Hello!

You are missing the excerpt, is this one?

So I called up my mentor, and I called up Andy Van Dam. And I said, Andy, I just gave a two-week assignment, and they came back and did stuff that if I had given them a whole semester I would have given them all As. Sensei, what do I do? [laughter] And Andy thought for a minute and he said, you go back into class tomorrow and you look them in the eye and you say, "Guys, that was pretty good, but I know you can do better." [laughter] And that was exactly the right advice. Because what he said was, you obviously don't know where the bar should be, and you're only going to do them a disservice by putting it anywhere. And boy was that good advice because they just kept going. . . .

In that sense, the answer would be:

Randy Pausch believes that his students, although they don't complete any task, they do have a good potential.

Hope have helped.
