A little more than kin and less than kind?
Hamlet's first line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is said in response to Claudius's line "And now my cousin Hamlet, and our son . . ." Hamlet is both nephew and stepson to Claudius, which is more kinship than is usual. "Less than kind" might mean that Claudius is not a kind person, with the sound pun on the words "kin" and "kind" The line might also mean that Hamlet is kin to Claudius (indeed, more than kin), but he is not of Claudius's kind--they are unlike.

What is meant by dominant pole in control systems?
The slowest poles of a system (those closest to the imaginary axis in the s-plane) give rise to the longest lasting terms in the transient response of the system. if a pole or set of poles are very slow compared to others in the transfer function, then they may dominate the transient response. If we plot the transient response of the system without accounting for the transient response of the fastest poles, we may find little difference from the transient response of the original system.
How does Gertrude not know how king Hamlet died?
She's not a doctor. Claudius claimed that Hamlet Sr. died of a snakebite, and she had no reason to believe otherwise. The key line is her response to Hamlet's "Almost as bad, dear mother, as to kill a king and marry with his brother." Hamlet is accusing her of the murder, but her response "To kill a king?" shows that to Gertrude the real shocker in Hamlet's statement is that his father was murdered at all. She had no idea.
When rosencrantz and guildenstern ask hamlet to direct them to polonius and body what does hamlet respond with?
When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ask Hamlet to direct them to Polonius's body, Hamlet responds cryptically, saying that he is "at the very pit of the sea" and suggests they can find Polonius "in the lobby." He uses wordplay to imply that Polonius is dead and that they should look for him in a more specific but indirect manner. Ultimately, Hamlet's response highlights his disdain for their meddling and his cleverness in evading their inquiry.
Whose portrait does hamlet show Gertrude Why?
In the "Closet Scene", Act III Scene 4, Hamlet says to Gertrude "Look here, upon this picture, and on this; the counterfeit presentment of two brothers." He is showing her two portraits, one of the late king Hamlet and one of the current king Claudius. Hamlet goes on and on about how perfect his father was and how awful his uncle is. He is trying to get her to share his opinions about his father and uncle. But it makes no sense: she knows better than anyone what the two men look like and are like. It hasn't bothered her before and why should it? So why does what he says turn her eyes into her very soul, entering like daggers in her ears and cleaving her heart in twain? What has Hamlet told her which is new? The answer is, probably, in Hamlet's line "As kill a king, and marry with his brother." Her response is "as kill a king??" Let's leave aside for a moment the fact that Hamlet is accusing her, not Claudius who he knows to be guilty. His accusation encompasses her as a party to the crime. But it may very well be that Gertrude had no idea before this moment that her husband had been murdered, but now that Hamlet has suggested it, things start to fall into place. It is this which upsets her, not Hamlet's comparison of his father and Claudius.
How does Hamlet plan to catch the conscience of the king?
This line is from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2. Prince Hamlet has been told by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet, that Prince Hamlet's uncle, King Claudius, murdered his own brother, King Hamlet. Claudius then married the dead King Hamlet's wife and Prince Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude. Since Hamlet does not know if the ghost is truly his father and telling the truth, he devises a plan that he believes will prove if what the ghost has said is true. Actors have come to perform at Elsinore Castle for King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. Hamlet asks them to use his altered version of the play, in order to "catch the conscience of the King." The alteration tells the story of a Queen whose husband is murdered by poison. The poisoner then woos the Queen with gifts. Though she rejects him for awhile, in the end she accepts his love. Hamlet plans to watch Claudius' reaction to the altered portion of the play, and discern from that response if Claudius is guilty. His fear of King Claudius' power, and his desire to shame his mother, Queen Gertrude, is the reason for Hamlet's indirect method of accusing the King. If Hamlet's plan doesn't work, he will still be free to pursue other possibilities.

What is gertrudes reaction to the player-queen?
Gertrude provides a quick, emotional response. She is moved by the speech and is visibly affected by the performance, which ultimately leads her to ask for a break.
How does hamlet propose to use the visiting actors in his conflict with Claudius?
Hamlet proposes to use the visiting actors to stage a play that mirrors the circumstances of King Hamlet's murder, which he believes will provoke a reaction from Claudius. He aims to observe Claudius's response to the performance, hoping it will reveal his guilt and confirm the ghost's accusation. This plan reflects Hamlet's strategic approach to confronting Claudius, as he seeks proof of his uncle's treachery before taking action. The play, titled "The Mousetrap," serves as a crucial turning point in Hamlet's quest for vengeance.
What type of madness does Shakespeare present in Hamlet?
All of the characters make poor decisions, but only two things are actually referred to as mad. Hamlet's madness is mostly feigned, but the things he does that the court sees as insane are to speak insultingly and cryptically, and to kill Polonius. Ophelia's madness is real, and consists of speaking cryptically and singing bawdy songs, handing out flowers, and either drowning herself or failing to save herself from being drowned. So the two overt types of madness are to be rude and inappropriate in public, and to show a reckless lack of regard for human life. Whether characters such as Hamlet and Claudius also display more subtle forms of madness is open to debate.
When Hamlet says Frailty thy name is woman he is expressing what?
When Hamlet says "Frailty, thy name is woman," he is expressing his disappointment and disillusionment with women, particularly in response to his mother Gertrude's hasty remarriage to Claudius after King Hamlet's death. This statement reflects his broader feelings of betrayal and generalization of female weakness, suggesting that he believes women are inherently unreliable and morally weak. It highlights Hamlet's internal struggles with his perceptions of gender, femininity, and the complexities of human relationships.
In hamlet What is the king's response?
"The King rises." Of course the text is not clear about exactly what Claudius is feeling when he rises. Certainly the representation of his murder of Hamlet Sr. has hit home--we know that from the following scene where he struggles with his guilt. On the one hand Claudius may rise because he is horrified by the memory of his crime, and he is distracted. On the other, Claudius may recognise the play for exactly what it is, may understand exactly what is troubling Hamlet, and rises because he refuses to put up with any more. The first may be called the "Claudius out of control" reading and the latter may be called the "Claudius in control" reading. Either one works.
