Greetings , I am Omelette. I will tell you a tale of my younger self. I was in my dwelling in Chez Omelette. Bernardo was humming a song by Selena Gomez as he always did before the dinner rush. I was studying for my Algebra test, curse the Pythagorean theorem! Then I heard a loud clatter, I ran into the kitchen and saw a short comedic man with a mustache resembling a moose in a cheese grader, and he was holding a large bag, “must be the delivery guy.” I said. So I put on my waiter outfit and started serving the famous cheese omelets.
I needed more Omelets for the starved, yet very fat, customers, and I saw something horrific Claudius and my mom… sharing recipes! A man can die but once. This man is the liking of my uncle. I screamed in a horrorous high pitched squeal! Polonius popped out of one of the doors and yelled, “My lady, are you okay?!” to my mother. “Why Polonius, do you not see the sharing of recipes in front of your eyes?” He denied my claim and went back to his miniscule dwelling. And so began the time of sadness. I went back to my room and studied for my algebra test.

Although I did not believe her, I'm a teenager, why should I care about my dad? So I went to bed. I got a D minus on the algebra test. I was at my Hamlet, sulking, and pondering what a Hamlet was, and I heard Bernardo talking to himself, I listened. They stole my Dad, Claudius paid them to do it, Adele and Beyonce made a girl power album! I now know, Bernardo had weird taste in music & Claudius took my father! I was outraged! the day afterward, I told my mother and she asked if I was feeling SICK! Really women?! I’m a grown teenager have some respect. I’m already super mature, hey have you seen my fake snot
It had been 5 years since the death of Johnny and Dally and everyday I miss them more and more. I am 18 now and about to leave to start my first year of college. I have still been living with my brothers Darry and Sodapop. Darry is now 25 and Soda is now 22. Things have been a little different ever since we won the rumble that night. I remember it like it was yesterday. But the difference is now the greasers and Socs are not really a thing anymore. Darry, Soda and I have kinda lose touch with Two-Bit, Steve and Cherry. But we all still think and talk about them everyday.(I mostly talk about Cherry.) When we see the Socs wondering the streets we don't go over and try to pick a fight anymore. We either smile and wave, it's like we're all one big friendly neighborhood.
Mr. Prud’homme, a substitute teacher for the summer session, went to Gene and Finny to discipline them the next morning for missing dinner, but he was soon won over by Finny’s ebullient talkativeness and leaves without giving punishment. Mr. Patch-Withers, the substitute headmaster, held tea that afternoon. Most of the students and faculty conversed awkwardly; Finny, on the other hand, proved he’s a great conversationalist. As Mr. ...
The death of Polonius is a prime example of Hamlet’s paranoid and volatile mental state. Moments after sparing Claudius’s...
Polonius is an important and respected person. It seems appropriate that he investigates and controls the behavior of his son and daughter. He, as the King's advisor is no longer a private person but a public one: what he or his children do has important public, not just personal implications. However, if his actions and speeches are examined closer, it is evident that he is a limited and vain person who is overly concerned with his appearance and wears different masks to tune up to different people.
I knew it would happen. As much as I tried to stay optimistic, to put off my feelings of suspicion to an old man's negativity, I knew that this case would cost me something more than just my reputation in the town and that didn't even really matter. In Maycomb, reputation is a day by day concept. Sure, we have more than enough of our fair share of immovable gossipers, and drama kings and queens looking for a story to spread. But in everyone's own mind, if you did something stupid, immoral, or just mildly humorous or entertaining, it was the talk of the town and you were judged terribly for a few days, a few weeks tops. Then the whispers, and glances faded to conversations over coffee, and deep inside jokes. My reputation didn't bother me one bit.
Polonius with no feeling of remorse and then talks about lugging his guts into another
Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1603) is one of the most popular dramas in world literature, as it examines the intensely passionate, but poisonous ambitions of King Claudius. He murders his own brother, King Hamlet, because he desires his throne, power, and wife. As a result of King Claudius’ fratricide, he inherits the “primal eldest curse” of the biblical Cain and Abel, and the dispersion of poison lethally ends his relationship with several major characters. This includes, of course, Prince Hamlet, who falls into a suicidal depression over the death of his father whose ghost visits him. This essay will analyze Shakespeare’s trope of poison, embodied by King Claudius.

The first theme of this excerpt is Polonius' ignorance. Polonius seems to be rather incompetent when it comes to eloquence, for instance he knows that Gertrude
Polonius, his [Hamlet’s] seeming opposite in so many ways, is, like Hamlet, an inveterate punster. To whom else but Polonius should Hamlet direct the taunt of “Words, words, words”? The aged counselor recalls that in his youth he “suffered much extremity for love, very near this,” and he has been an actor at the university. Polonius too has advice for the players: “Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light.” When Hamlet jibes at “so capital a calf” enacting Julius Caesar, killed in the Capitol, he reinforces the parallel to his own playacting and anticipates the slaying of Polonius behind the arras.

Shakespeare's presentation of the way in which King Claudius acts correlates with the view that each `Elisinorian' character assumes a pretence. Shakespeare presen...
Polonius is over-eager and tries to give unwanted advice, during the play he is tactless and often rude. For instance, Polonius is a comic relief during his conversation with Gertrude and Claudius regarding Hamlet’s madness. Polonius rambling through his conversation contrasts with Gertrude’s seriousness of wanting to find out the reason to Hamlet’s madness. As Polonius begins to deliver to the king and queen the results of his investigation, he makes this statement, “My liege, and madam, to expostulate/ What majesty should be, what duty is,/ What day is day, night is night, and time is time,/ Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;/ Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,/ And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,/ I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. . . .”(IIii,86-92) . Polonius’ speech is windy and nonsensical he wastes ti...
The placement of a King is earned, not taken out of a selfish desire. King Claudius, brother of former King Hamlet, Uncle/Step father of son Hamlet, is a disgusting description of a King. He is truly one of a kind, but not a good king of flavor. King Claudius is fake and manipulative, anything but a king, matter of fact he is a failure of a “king”. To show the aspects of Claudius is to prove how he is. This critical analysis will describe why King Claudius is a bad version of a king, the kind of man he truly is, and why he deserves to be abolished of the “King’s” position. Furthermore, in detail, it will be thoroughly discussed the negative aspects of Claudius and what kind of “King” he really is.
In response to Polonius’ question, “Do you know me?” Hamlet responds, “Excellent well you are a fishmonger” (II,ii,174). This is the first of much ridicule that Hamlet directs at the ignorant Polonius. The reason for ridicu...
“Come, let the games begin! And you, the judges keep a close watch on the duel.” King Claudius exclaimed with joy and adrenaline rushed through his words. Confusion dawned upon me: Why is he so happy? He seems overly ecstatic for a friendly duel...is he plotting something against the well-being of my son? My suspicions only raised when he continuously stated glowing praises about Hamlet’s fencing abilities. Why, why this sudden praise? Did he plan something behind my back? With the inner turmoils going inside my mind, I increasingly grew aware of my surroundings; I carefully observed my husband’s face, trying to find any hints of vile schemes. No, no my dear Claudius would never lay
