DRJ #2 Hamlet Act 2 In act 2 Polonius reminds me of well maybe myself. I have two daughters whom I am always concerned about. I foresee that i may become a overprotective father like I believe Polonius may be. Polonius may be concerned for the whole family also but I believed he just does not want his daughter to be seen as a whore. Polonius seems kind of naive to Hamlets sarcasm and the fact that Hamlet pretended not to know who he was. Hamlet told Polonius he has a fisherman but hamlet was messing with him and Polonius did not get it. Polonius is just concerned for his daughter and wants Hamlet to leave her Alone. Hamlet will probably try to get around Polonius and the King with trickery and deception later on in the play. Hamlet is going to set up the play to symbolize to everyone including Claudius that his father was murdered. Hamlet the protagonist does not have the guts to confront the King but hopes the play will guilt Claudius or cause him to have a reaction of some kind. This is a great plan however, Hamlet ironically feels like “oh what a rouge and peasant slave am I” . He feels bad because he does not have the strength to confront and or kill Claudius.
