The Fool acts as a commentator on events and is one of the characters (Kent being the other) who is fearless in speaking the truth. The Fool provides wit

While he does show a few examples of him being wise‚ he shows several more examples of him being foolishness. William Shakespeare’s Hamlet utilizes the character Polonius to reveal the fine line between being wise and being foolish.

    Gertrude‚ Polonius does not hurt his daughter Ophelia in a direct way. Be that as it may‚ Ophelia becomes more and more depressed as a result of his interventions with Hamlet. Initially‚ Polonius instructs Ophelia to be wary of Hamlet’s love because someone of such a high status cannot love her truthfully. Because of this‚ when Hamlet enters Ophelia’s chamber with his clothes all torn‚ Polonius falsely assumes that this is because Ophelia withheld herself from him. This becomes clear when Polonius states
