Read the excerpt from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard.
POLONIUS The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord, are joyfully returned.
CLAUDIUS Thou still hast been the father of good news.
POLONIUS Have I, my lord? Assure you, my good liege,
I hold my duty as I hold my soul,
Both to my God and to my gracious King;
And I do think, or else this brain of mine
Hunts not the trail of policy so sure
As it hath used to do, that I have found
The very cause of Hamlet’s lunacy.
Which quotation best shows how much Polonius values his position at court?
“The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord, are joyfully returned.”
“I hold my duty as I hold my soul”
“this brain of mine / Hunts not the trail of policy so sure”
“I have found / The very cause of Hamlet’s lunacy.”
