Detailed explanation-1: -In King Lear Shakespeare says “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.” So here are a few thoughts on gratitude to help us avoid the serpent’s tooth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The title comes from Act 1, Scene 4 of William Shakespeare’s King Lear: “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!” In this episode, the Enterprise must contend with alien entity that demands it be worshiped as a god.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meaning of “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child” This quote is spoken by King Lear about his daughter, Goneril. He’s comparing the pain he feels having her-a thankless daughter-to a snake bite. He says that the pain she causes him is “sharper” or more painful than any snake bite.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lear: Nothing can come of nothing, speak again. Now, gods, stand up for bastards! To have a thankless child! Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
Detailed explanation-5: -When Goneril, objects to the King’s guards, the king is furious. In deep agony, he shouts, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is/To have a thankless child!” Thus an ungrateful child causes pain to the parent sharper than a snakebite.
