Question

What man art thou that thus bescreen’d in night


So stumblest on my counsel?

Answer 1

This line is from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." It is spoken by the character King Claudius in Act 3, Scene 2. In this scene, Claudius is addressing Hamlet, who has entered unexpectedly while he is speaking with Gertrude, the queen. Claudius is questioning Hamlet's intentions and the reason for his presence. The imagery of "bescreen'd in night" suggests that Hamlet is shrouded in darkness, symbolizing perhaps the mystery or the hidden motives he might have.
