Quote by William Shakespeare

Frailty, thy name is woman

Frailty, thy name is woman

Summary

This quote, spoken by Hamlet in Shakespeare's play, highlights the perceived vulnerability and weakness often associated with women. It suggests that women are easily swayed, untrustworthy, and lack the strength and resilience that is traditionally associated with men. However, it is essential to consider the context in which this quote is spoken, as it reflects Hamlet's disillusionment and anger towards women following his mother's remarriage after his father's death. While powerful in its delivery, the quote may be understood as a reflection of Hamlet's personal perspective rather than an objective truth about women.
