Katena32 [7]2 years ago

In the Hamlet skull scene, Yorick's skull is held by Hamlet while he muses on his own vanity.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Vanity of life:

The audience is reminded of the futility of human life by Yorick's skull. The futility of Yorick the court jester's life is portrayed by Hamlet holding the skull in his hand. He once astounded the court with his brilliance, but today he lies in a lone graveyard beside those who lack his intellectual prowess. Is it necessary to put more effort into one's life if it only results in death?

The symbolism of life and death:

It is not novel to discuss Yorick's skull's symbolic value. Shakespeare employed such dramatic techniques to extract the text's symbolic meaning. Similar to the Macbeth dagger and the Hamlet skull. In the Hamlet skull scene, Yorick's skull represents death, the final destination of life. The skull that Hamlet is carrying alludes to the contrast between life and death. Hamlet represents life, and the skull in his hand represents death. Only a hand's width separates them!

We know from the title that he might be in college. (English B is an add way to name a class, but it is the name of the class).

We know nothing about dating a white woman. There is no mention of anything that would tell you that. We are not even certain he is black, not directly anyway.

A and C are the answers.

I only need one sentence for each can someone write in down. And PLEASE don’t just write random stuff to take the points
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

One thing that makes the text easy to write about

It is a very short text, with no abundance of punctuation marks or larger words in the sentences.

One thing that makes the text hard to write about

It can be very confusing if you try to understand it, why was there magic, how did the silk hat get there? It isn't one for context clues.

You could, but why? There is nothing significant to write about.

What problems would you like to be solved or changed? (It can be anything)
Westkost [7]

I actually disagree with abortion being banned because although it is wrong to me that they are killing babies, maybe it’s better then having an unwanted baby and killing them another way that could be way more harsher. In addition, teenagers would feel the need to kill them selves (I did research) to get rid of the baby- it could be because they are too young, it’s too much of a responsibility, or it could be because they don’t want babies. Abortion could be avoided by having a baby and sending it for adoption or an orphanage, but they shouldn’t ban abortion. ~Melany~
