Shakespeare’s allusion to Hecuba suggests that Hamlet is impressed by the actor’s ability to cry for a fictional character, as stated in option B.

<h3>What is an allusion?</h3>

In literature, an allusion is a figure of speech in which the author mentions a well-known person or character belonging to a different story. In "Hamlet," Shakespeare alludes to Hecuba, a character in Homer's "Iliad."

The allusion appears in Hamlet's speech as he expresses admiration. Even though Hecuba is not real, just a fictional character, the actor was able to cry for her. Hamlet is impressed by the actor's ability.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

The missing excerpt is the following:

Could force his soul so to his own conceit

That from her working all his visage wann’d,

Tears in his eyes, distraction in ’s aspect,

A broken voice, and his whole function suiting

With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing!

For Hecuba!

Triss [41]

Answer:

Good
