The phrase "He that has wife and children has given hostages to fortune" suggests that having a family creates a sense of vulnerability and responsibility. By committing to a spouse and raising children, one becomes more invested in the future and more susceptible to the uncertainties of life. This idea implies that the well-being of loved ones can influence one's own fate, making personal stakes higher and life more unpredictable. Essentially, it highlights the risks involved in deep emotional and financial commitments.

How is the word fortune characterized in Hamlet?
Fortune is characterized as a malicious or capricious prostitute. In Hamlet's discussion with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Guildenstern starts with the metaphor "On Fortune's cap we are not the very button.", and so they explore just what part of Fortune they might be worn on and conclude that their fortunes are middling so they are worn in her middle, whereupon Hamlet says "In the secret parts of Fortune? True, she is a strumpet." This might be thought to be a throwaway joke except that the First Player's speech about Hecuba includes the line, "Out, out, thou strumpet Fortune." In his famous soliloquy Hamlet talks about "the slings and arrows of outrageous Fortune", suggesting that Fortune is malicious. His line to Horatio, that he is "a man that Fortune's buffets and rewards have ta'en with equal thanks" suggests a more equanimical view of Fortune. He goes on to say "Blest are those whose blood and judgment are so well commingled that they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger to sound what stop she please." This echoes Romeo's line "O I am Fortune's fool!"
