Polonius interfered with the young relationship and as expected Ophelia followed his words of wisdom. This is hard to believe as his favourite hobby seems to be eavesdropping, which is later seen on many occasions. Polonius is very hypocritical, he thinks it is his duty to inform the king and queen of Ophelia and Hamlet's relationship, and that he is not simply being nosey. ''And more above hath his solicitings, As fell out by time, by means, and place, All given to mine ear'' Polonius abuses this trust by sharing this information with the King and Queen and corrupting the young and simple relationship. This trust is how Polonius comes into possession of Hamlet's love letter to Ophelia, and how he is aware of all Ophelia's and Hamlet's meetings. Polonius has brought up Ophelia to have utter trust in him, even in matters concerning her love life. Hamlet does not approve of Claudius's drinking habits and continuous celebrations '' we'll teach you to drink deep ere you depart'' He can see through his false personality, unlike the court, and doesn't think he is a suitable king. He says that the left over funeral meats could be served at the wedding. He respects his mother's wishes and does not return to Wittenburg even after all she has done to him. He stays true to himself and his feelings about his father's death in front of the court, even if it is embarrassing for his reputation. (D) Believes the ghost's appearance is some foul hidden deed coming to light and follows the ghost without hesitation as he wants the truth to come out. He tries to explain to his mother that he has not yet got over his father's sudden death, but has the right to be upset. (C) Can be very dramatic but realistic at times. (B) He is disgusted at his mother's hasty and incestuous marriage and believes that it is affecting him '' o that this too too sullied flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew ''. It is possible and even probable that there are other good objections which render the view not perfectly acceptable.(A) He is a very emotional character and displays a wide range of emotions throughout the play such as sadness/depression in Claudius's court '' but I have that within which passes show, these but the trappings and the suits of woe'', anger and self-disgust at his neglect of his task '' o what a rogue and peasant slave am I'' , bitterness '' a little more than kin and less than kind'' and humour, visible when he calls Polonius a '' fishmonger''. “ The principle of the transmission of obligation is, therefore, perfectly acceptable.” (p. He defends that view against some objections and then concludes: ![]() On pages 238-240 he defends a view about the transmission of obligations. ![]() Graham Priest defends his dialetheism theory in his book In Contradiction. Interestingly, I found logician, Graham Priest, that commits this fallacy (oh well, even logicians commit fallacies but hopefully less or less frequently than other people). He should not conclude that there are none. Presuming that the person is rational, this is where he ought to conclude that there are no good objections known to him. ![]() He then defeats these objections to his own satisfaction and concludes that there are no good objections. That someone acknowledges the existence of a number of objections to the view/theory that he is defending. The typical situation is this: Someone is defending some view or theory. This is a common yet relatively unknown fallacy.
