Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that does fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong, Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong, bell.
what happens to the father in full fathom five?
He has turned into a sea creature
He has been diving explore the sea
His body has been turned into riches of the ocean ••
He has lost his children at sea
Correct me!!
I agree with you.
The correct answer is: His body has been turned into riches of the ocean.
In the poem, "Full Fathom Five" by William Shakespeare, the speaker describes a father who is lying underwater, five fathoms deep (a fathom is a unit of measurement for depth). The father's body has undergone a transformation, known as a sea-change, where his bones have turned into coral and his eyes into pearls. Rather than fading away, the father's essence has become part of the rich and strange treasures found in the depths of the sea. The sea-nymphs are depicted as ringing his funeral bell, which the speaker can hear as "Ding-dong, Hark! Now I hear them - Ding-dong, bell."
