My liege, and madam, to expostulate what majesty should be, what duty is, why day is day, night is night, and time is time, were nothing but to waste night, day and time. (act 2, scene 2) these words of polonius reflect what aspect of his personality? his scheming nature his old age his false devotion to the king his tendency to ramble

The correct answer is D. These lines illustrate Polonius' tendency to ramble.

As these lines illustrate, it takes awhile for Polonius to get to the point. All he says in these lines is that to it is a waste of time to argue about the nature of something. Instead of just saying that, however, he rambles a bit.

For example, instead of saying "were nothing but to waste time," he says "were nothing but to waste night, day and time." There really isn't a need for him to add "night, day and" but he does anyway.

Polonius never uses one word when five will do, as these lines illustrate.
