Subject: Brilliant!!!

This is an obvious post, but every time I read these two lines I have to smile. In III. iv. 10-11, Hamlet responds to his mother's scolding in such a way that [though it may cost him a spanking] it was so worth it. "Queen: Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended. Hamlet: Mother, you have my father much offended."
-Brilliant!-
The mere rebuke of his mother through her own scolding of him was well structured by Shakespeare.
