The title (tiêu đề) of this episode is “Frailty, Thy Name Is…” which stays on with the stage play theme (chủ đề). This is a famous line from Hamlet but the full line is “Frailty, Thy Name Is Woman” which is a somewhat fitting title.
“Frailty, thy name is woman” – this is a famous quotation from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. It is a poetic way of saying, “women are frail (mỏng manh)” or “you are as frail as any woman,” but with a dramatic turn of phrase. It depicts (mô tả) an emotional outburst by a fictional character in a work of fiction. The hero, being disgusted (chán ghét) with what he considers to be libidinous (dâm đãng) in his mother, develops a hatred for women in general.
In a soliloquy (độc thoại) in William Shakespeare’s masterpiece, protagonist (nhân vật chính) Hamlet denounces all womankind as frail and weak, “Frailty, thy name is woman”. However, at Panjab University, a girl candidate (thí sinh), Kanupriya has proved the bard wrong.
In the course of a five-hour-long discussion, the ruling party members retaliated (trả đũa) to the opposition allegations, also invoking (dẫn chứng) Shakespeare: "Frailty, thy name is woman... If Shakespeare was alive, he might have rephrased it as Hypocrisy (đạo đức giả), thy name is Chennithala," said communist legislator A. Pradeepkumar, in his reply to the Congress' charges.
