Answer:

What can be inferred from this excerpt from "Look Homeward, Angel", written by Thomas Wolfe, and which was first published in 1929, is, that despite all the vices, failures and strange behaviors that the neighbors of Oliver Gant saw in him, they tended to him because they could see that there was more to him, an inherent goodness, something that he tried to hide deep inside, that was good, and which made him deserving to receive at least a bit of human compassion. This can be explained when we read certain portions of the excerpt, specifically when it says: "And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in that drunken ruin of Babel." This piece shows that the neighbors were able to glimpse something more, something beyond, what Oliver showed by being always aggressive, and drunk.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Laertes resolves to act and get revenge immediately for his father while Hamlet cannot decide or act.

Explanation:

Laertes and Hamlet have one thing in common: they both lose their fathers in the play. However, their reaction is very different. Hamlet, even after the confirmation of the ghost of his father, he hesitates and thinks a lot about who is to blame, and what he should do about it. Whereas Laertes, as soon as he finds out about the death of his father he decides to revenge and he actually does something.

In Act 4 Scene 5 Lines 109-110, Laertes enters Elsinore Castle decided to kill whoever killed his father, he is resolved to act:

"Let come what comes, only I'll be revenged most thoroughly for my father"
