I'm new here and joined hoping I can get some answers.
-How come Hamlet didn't become king after his father passed?
-What causes Hamlet's "madness" beyond the death of his father and his mother remarrying?
-Also, I was wondering if anyone wanted to share opinions on T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". This section specifically.
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous--
Almost, at times, the Fool.
Prufrock describes himself as being comparable to Polonius. Is his description accurate? Any specific lines in Hamlet that you've found that support?
