The tragedy’s fool

Remember the characteristics of Shakespeare’s fool?  A fool (s) exists in most Shakespearean plays—not only in his comedies. These characters elicit humor, but often do so unintentionally (intentionally by Shakespeare, unintentionally by the character) The Shakespearean Fool Archetype:  Undereducated  Fickle  Easily confused  Sporadically quick-witted (occasionally he is sharp; often he’s too dumb to understand what he is saying)  Often egotistical

Listen to this short podcast about the character of Polonius (listen to only the last 5 minutes)short podcast  Does it add anything to our previous analysis of Polonius?  What characteristics of “the fool” does Polonius exhibit?  In your R.J.:  List the characteristics he demonstrates  For each characteristic, find an example (FROM THE TEXT) to prove it  Share with a partner what you discovered

Polonius is killed in Act III, Scene IV  His death is the first in the play  Why would Shakespeare choose to make Polonius the first victim?  How does his death impact the other characters?  Hamlet  Gertrude  Claudius  Ophelia  Laertes  Consider Shakespeare’s structure. Act III is the climax of the plot; how does Polonius’ death contribute to the climactic nature of this act?
