He is interested in what is going on in his daughter’s life and knows how to get to her through his words and actions. He is also a wise man in the sense he knows what Hamlet wants from his daughter. Most of the advice that Polonius said is very worldly advice...advice of a man that understood the world.

You have to be specific about the part you're not understanding. The most important part of this scene is Hal's soliloquy at the very end. It's written in blank verse showing us that Hal is capable of kingly qualities. (In the entire play, the royalty etc. talk in blank verse while the tavern people talk in prose. Hal had also been talking in prose with his friends right before this soliloquy). The soliloquy shows us his Machiavellian traits - he's capable of manipulation and knows exactly what he wants to achieve by hanging out with Falstaff etc. In the soliloquy, he also uses metaphors like sun and clouds which further show us that he is capable of becoming the king. I can give further explanations if you tell me what exactly you are having trouble with.

haha i just read that. \n\ni can kinda answer some of them\n\n1. it's a comedy. i don't have time to answer the rest.\n2. there was only 1 scene i knew had music and that was when Portia and Nerissa are singing when Bassiano is choosing a box. (Portia wants him to find the right one and he does) so i guess it's for want or soemthing?\n3. gold is one of the wrong boxes it says summat like "he who chooses me will get all he deserves" so basically whoever chooses it doesn't get the woman because they are greedy and thinking only of themselves. The second time might be where Shylock is so locked on to his worldly possesions and is planning to kill antonio for his money. I dunno\n4. So you know that Shylock and Antonio had a deal that if Antonio doesn't pay him by a certain day, Shylock gets to remove a pound of flesh closest to antonio's heart.There's justice versus mercy in the scene where Shylock is about to take the pound of flesh from Antonio and Portia (disguised as a man) first tries to get him to show mercy to Antonio and forget about their deal and Shylock refuses. Then Portia points out to him that he said a pound of flesh not a pound of flesh and blood so the tables are turned and Shylock is in trouble for deliberately trying to kill a man because taking a pound of flesh would definately kill him. And the justice is that for trying to kill Antonio, Shylock has to turn in all his possessions and become a Christian. I think anyways.

lord capulet, ok. well i just finished reading this and i myself am writing an essay, not of the same topic.  so, anyways, lord capulet played a major role in the play. like all the secondary characters in the story he had good intentions that went bad. the father of the main character wanted what was best for his daughter and that was to marry paris but that was not what juliet wanted. \ni dont know if you can write about another character but if you could the friar would be a good one. it would be easy to elaborate on his good intentions. his whole plan was for the marriage of romeo and juliet to stop the feud between the familys, but in order for that to happen the lovers had to die, this is the good intention gone bad.

Too vague. I read Hamlet but I don't know what you want specifically.

If this is for homework you really should do the work yourself.  Everyone thinks Shakespeare is confusing because of the complicated language, but there really are some fun stuff in his plays, and some of it isn't that different then todays movies.  Shakespere used a lot of sex, violence, and paranormal.  The trick is don't read it.  It was never meant to be read directly. It wasn't even written down originally, just memorized by actors. Go rent Romeo and Julitte, and see it performed. If they are good actors they will convey it in a way that's easier to understand. Another good resource is: http://absoluteshakespeare.com\n\nAny, Act II starts out with the famous "balcony scene" where Juliet wishes Romeo wasn't Montague.  He overhears it and says he loves her so much he'll swear off the name. They complain for a while about dealing with the problem of being from feuding families, then fter some shameless flirting Romeo proposes.  Juliet says she'll think about it and send her nurse to answer tomorrow.  Romeo goes and tells Friar Laurence what he's done and the Friar accuses Romeo of just trying to get into Juliet's pants, expecially since yesterday he was telling the Friar he was in love with Rosalind.  Be he agrees to wed them because he thinks it will solve the feud between the families.  In the mean time Rome's friends give him a hard time, Juliet's Nurse agrees to help, and ends with them secretly getting married.\n\nFor an even funnier version rent The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abbridged) by the Reduced Shakespere company.  Also rend the recent Romeo and Juliet movie by Baz Luhrmann (the guy that did Moulin Rouge)

It was probably Christopher Marlowe..just kidding. I have no idea. It is fun to speculate. I'm sure he probably borrowed from other playwrights as was customary in the Elizabethan era. I leave these matters for the Oxford scholars.

'ot' !? You mean 'it', I presume !\nI also presume that you are on the lookout for a short story in English. And that perhaps, you intend to perform it as a play. \nIf yes, allow me to recommend the short stories of O Henry : \n...Instead of simply recounting what the various characters said to each other in the [usual] third person, he lets them directly 'talk' - which turns even a mere reading of his stories into an illusion of 'being right there' among the story's persona ! His technique does really induce his readers to feel 'involved'.\nSince most of O Henry's stories are highly humourous, and end with a sudden and surprising 'twist to the tale', they will all provide ample scope for winning applause by raising laughs - which is what all play-actors really dream of, and aim for !\nDepending on the types/numbers of cast members at your disposal, select a suitable short story : Turning it into a play would be rather easy, for he has already 'sequenced' his stories into distinct 'scenes', and provided almost 50% of the dialogues himself.\nAll you will need to do, is to turn his remaining narrative into dialogues - mostly by simply switching it over from the third person to the first ! \nBingo ! You now have a brand 'new' play, by a famous author, to stage. And no royalties to pay, either !\nMy favourite is O Henry's 'The Catbird Seat' : I've scripted, directed and acted in its staged version myself - with both the cast and audience enjoying our end-product !\n'Break a leg' - for good luck.

Act I, Scene I:\nFirst, while ending a meeting, the witches agree to reconvene “when the battle’s lost and won” (Line 4). Then they warn the audience that “fair is foul, and foul is fair” (Line 12).\nIn Scene II, the nobleman Ross informs King Duncan that a trusted lord, the thane of Cawdor, is a traitor who conspired with the enemy. In other words, the fair Cawdor is foul.\n.......When the witches predict that Macbeth will become king and that Banquo will beget a line of kings, both men react by speaking contradictions reflecting caution and confusion. Banquo says in Act I, Scene III:  \nOftentimes, to win us to our harm, \nThe instruments of darkness tell us truths, \nWin us with honest trifles, to betray's \nIn deepest consequence.\n\nFrom: In Macbeth True Is False and Fair Is Foul\nBy Michael J. Cummings © 2006\nThere are more paradoxes listed in the essay.\nhttp://cummingsstudyguides.net/xMacbeth.html

Well, I believe that play features a character simply called the "Narrator."  He is a third-person perspective on all events in the 'town.'  I would say that third-person perspective might be considered a literary element.
