Polonius reminds Ophelia that with a larger tether may [Hamlet) walk / Than may be given you." What are two possible explanations for why Hamlet has a larger tether" --more freedom and leeway--than Ophelia has?

Polonius explained that Hamlet's masculinity and royalty were the two important aspects on which he possessed more 'freedom and leeway' than Ophelia.

Explanation:

Polonius warns Ophelia not to indulge in the affairs of Hamlet. He further adds that Hamlet has a larger "tether" or more precise power than Ophelia. In his explanation, he makes it clear that Hamlet owns the powers of being a male and of royalty. In terms of gender, Hamlet's actions would not turn him towards any trouble being a male. While any unaccepted action of Ophelia may get her fall into trouble. Being the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet enjoys certain freedom and is also obliged to many responsibilities.

ismene wants to follow the rules, unlike antigone who'd rather break them for her brother.

self-monitoring is in other words holding back your emotions for the better good. usually, people who can't hold their excitement, temper, or any other emotions, need to self-monitor themselves.   lol
