Answer:

The Inquisition is the historical context that frames Poe’s short story.

Explanation:

The unnamed narrator has been sentenced to death and relates his violent experience, which despite being a fictional account of an unlikely event, it´s an accurate depiction of how violent the Inquisition was. In this sense, Inquisition is a great subject or setting for the genre of horror, given its explicitly violent events, which Poe enhances to conceive a suspenseful story, with only an implicit political agenda to condemn the Inquisition.

How did Hamlet's mother act toward his father, the king, when he was alive?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

First off I absolutely love Hamlet

Back to the topic, she loved King Hamlet.

(although it never mentions anything that would say she doesn't love him like that, it's kind of weird that she got married to her son's uncle so soon after her husband's death)
