Read this line from Hamlet discussed in Behind the Curtain.No one set scenes more brilliantly and economically than Shakespeare. Consider the opening lines of Hamlet: Barnardo: Who's there? Francisco: Nay, answer me. Stand, and unfold yourself. Barnardo: Long live the King! Francisco: Barnardo? Barnardo: He. In five terse lines Shakespeare establishes that it is nighttime and cold ("unfold yourself" means "draw back your cloak"), that the speakers are soldiers on guard, and that there is tension in the air. With just fifteen words—eleven of them monosyllables—he has the audience's full, rapt attention.
The passage explains that “unfold yourself” means “draw back your cloak.” In other words, Francisco is telling Barnardo to remove or open his cape so he can be recognized. Therefore, the correct choice is “remove your cape.”
