To Thine Own Self Be True

This sentence is one of countless famous words created by William Shakespeare. In the first theater, famous scenes of drama III, Hamlet, Polonius said:

Today these words of Polonias are the pearl of a well-balanced life of Shakespearean life.

The Shakespearean audience in the Elizabethan era is very conscious of the meaning of his words, but in modern times the words "self" and "real" are different. In fact, this expression means multiple meanings. The first meaning is that if you do something that someone should or should do, he can judge yourself better. The second meaning is that people's way of doing and interpersonal relationships must be honest. The third meaning is that you must always do the right thing. Finally, considering the personality of Polonius in the drama, because many scholars mean "real" is beneficial, his advice to his son is that he first considers his own interests It means that you have to do.

Today, this sentence is widely used in the context of honesty and commitment. Generally speaking, people use this sentence when someone tries to deceive them. The boss tells the employees not to waste time and their parents use it to warn the child not to keep bad company. Service companies and production companies also use this phrase as a slogan to prove quality, dedication to standards, dedication, and compliance.

Shakespeare used this sentence for the first act, third act 78-82 of the drama "Hamlet". When he left Paris, Polonius used these words as an expression of advice to his son, Rarthes. He said:

Polonius believes that if his economic situation is good, he can be harmless and good for others. Therefore, he must first be faithful to his best interests and then take care of others. However, since it means the concept of truth, self-ownership, individuality, modern times give it a completely different meaning.

Shakespeare is ironic and humorous by skillfully expressing his character. Polonius is one of the people that Shakespeare is not going to deeply reveal, but has made him talk as a scholar, creating humor and sarcasm. Today, critics believe that the wonderful speech of Polonius in this drama is actually the motto of Shakespeare's own life and a noble life.

Do not get me wrong. There is nothing to replace integrity, not news or other areas. In Hamlet, Sharonia's Polonius proposed more parents advice to his son Rertas. "The most important thing is for your own truth." In my career, you can think that countless hours of causing unpleasant behavior are correct behavior. Insufficient to publish the story

However, I would like to imply that "to make myself a reality" is not mere criticism of hypocrisy. This is also prosecution of the concept of Shakespeare's "self". After Polonius sent Lertis to France, Ophelia told her father that he did not know how to deal with Hamlet's relationship, but Polonius did not make it to France. Pass her loyalty to her. Instead, he told her what to think: "You do not know yourself ... I think you are a baby" (1.3.95, 104)? If Laertes should be true to himself, why does Polonius not express the same courtesy to Ophelia? When Ophelia had to imagine himself like a baby, why was Lulters loyal to himself? Is it blatant misogyny? Of course, Polonius's concept of "self" is not consistent. For Polonius it means exactly the same as he said to Laertes "to make myself a reality", and Ophelia is "thinking about being a baby." What he meant is that he said: as I said. Polonius is his child's self

If we understand the meaning as an intention, I would like to suggest that "contradictory, we are real" means that "self" does not exist. To put it more precisely, "Hamlet" in Shakespeare means that "self" only exists as a rhetoric, philosophical, psychological structure, and we use this structure to examine the world experience and behavior I understand. . If so, this clause might make us think that Shakespeare is not only a playwright, but also a moral philosopher, a moral person in the drama.
