Hamlet 1:3

Question 1:
This was a really short scene. First Laertes talks to his sister, Ophelia, also the girlfriend of Hamlet, to tell her that she isn't good enough for Hamlet and that they need to break up because he is next to the throne. She tells him okay, but its more like whatever I'll listen to if you get off my back kinda thing. But she also says that she'll only listen to him if he listen to his own advice because he tells her to be true to herself. Then Polonius comes in o tell Laertes goodbye because he is going to college. He tells him a lot of advice but all of it contradicts itself. Then he tells him bye. Before Laertes goes he tells Ophelia to remember what he said and she says okay. He leaves then Polonius goes and talks to Ophelia to tell her to break up with Hamlet. She says that they love each other and he basically says yeah whatever he doesn't love you. Then he says don't sleep with him. She's not really paying attention so he commands her to break up with him and she says that she will then the scene ends.
Question 2:
The line I think is most important is when Ophelia says" I shall the effect of this good lesson keep as watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, whiles like a puffed and reckless libertine himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, and recks not his own rede." Which really says, I'll follow your advice if you follow it too. It's important because it shows that Ophelia will only do what she thinks is right. She won't just do whatever people tell her too because they tell her too, she has a backbone and she's not afraid to use it.
Question 4:
My favorite line is the whole passage of Polonius, which is way to long to type because its like a whole page long. Anyways, I like it because it reveals what he's really like. He's trying to be helpful, but he doesn't really know how, so he ends up saying a whole lot of nothing. I think its funnyish too because it takes a lot of effort to say so much that adds up to so little.
