A father-son relationship is a very strange and beautiful thing, naturally a son admires his father in everything, especially on how to be a man. In contrast, a father's goal is to raise and advise his son based on his past experiences so that he can surpass him and perpetuate the family honor. In the tragic play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, everything revolves around family relationships, especially between father and son. Shakespeare includes the stories of three young men who all lost their fathers: Hamlet, Laertes and Fortinbras. All of their relationships and their fates in the end are very different, but it is Laertes and Polonius who are the most striking in the play as we see more of their relationship in action, it seems to be the most normal, and it definitely highlights highlights the flaws of the other two relationships. In this tragic play there is an element of duty and protection, reliability and loyalty between Polonius and Laertes. Although their relationship is not perfect with these vital elements of their relationship, it shows that they still have love for each other. Naturally, when a son tells his father that he wants to move and live his own life in another country, it can cause concern. for his well-being with a father. Towards the beginning of the play you can see much of the duty and mutual protection of a father and son when Laertes tells us about his move from Denmark to France. : In act 1, Laertes cries to the king "My formidable Lord, you depart and favor the return to France... Yet now I must confess that this duty is accomplished" (1.2.51-54) saying that he has did his duty towards him. and wishes to leave Denmark; This may seem strange at first, because it seems that Laertes wants to leave his father, his family, and his home. But...... middle of paper ...... pray. Overall, based on their duty and protection, reliability and loyalty to each other, Laertes has remained the most normal relationship in the room and it is clear that they are both loved each other deeply even if they didn't have the chance to tell each other. The long list of normal fatherly advice that Polonius gives creates a somewhat stereotypical father-son signifying his love for Laertes, in the play's many family relationships. Although Polonius was wary of Laertes in France, it is arguable that he might have been overprotective of his son due to his love for him. Laertes, stubborn, active, loyal and loving upon the death of his father, contrasted with Hamlet becoming his foil in the play. The purpose of the father-son relationship of Polonius and Laertes is important because it enriches the conflicts that arise in the family of Fortinbras and Hamlet..
