In this passage from Hamlet, act IV, scene VII, King Claudius tells Laertes why he is not taking action against Polonius’s murde

rer. Which lines convey the idea that the Danish people love Hamlet and that accusing him of murder would generate bad public opinion for Claudius?
LAERTES: It well appears. But tell me

Why you proceeded not against these feats,

So criminal and so capital in nature,

As by your safety, greatness, wisdom, all things else

You mainly were stirr'd up


KING: O, for two special reasons,

Which may to you, perhaps, seem much unsinow'd,389

But yet to me they are strong. The Queen his mother

Lives almost by his looks, and for myself—

My virtue or my plague, be it either which—

She is so conjunctive to my life and soul,

That, as the star moves not but in his sphere,I could not but by her.


The other motive,

Why to a public count I might not go,

Is the great love the general gender bear him;

Who, dipping all his faults in their affection,

Work, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,

so that my arrows,

Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind,

Would have reverted to my bow again,

But not where I have aim'd them

These lines are correct:

<span>The other motive,
Why to a public count I might not go,
Is the great love the general gender bear him;
Who, dipping all his faults in their affection,
Work, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,
so that my arrows,
Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind,
Would have reverted to my bow again,
But not where I have aim'd them

Here, Claudius is clearly saying that he cannot accuse Hamlet of anything because the people in Denmark love their prince, so even if he did try to accuse him, nobody would believe him anyway. This is why he doesn't want to accuse Hamlet of Polonious's murder like that, but rather reveal the secret in other ways.

TWENTY POINTS PLEASE GIVE ACTUAL ANSWER AND DONT JUST STEAL THE POINTS!!
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The main character, Montresor’s, detailing of events of revenge as a premeditated murder against Fortunato. The writer uses a form of flashback by mentioning the injury and insult inflicted by Fortunato upon Montresor in the beginning of the story to give explanation to the detailing of revenge. The writer also uses flashback in visualization of the events to come from Montresor’s planning of his revenge on Fortunato. Poe is using flashback to tell the entire story from 50 years after the tragedy has taken place. With the imagery the writer uses for visualization of each setting and events such as; their trip through the vaults and catacombs in search of the Amontillado throughout the story, he creates suspense at different intervals. Montresor gave Fortunato the opportunity to create conflict by giving him the option to turn back and not continue with their journey, but since he chose to continue on, conflict was essentially avoided until the “end” of their journey. The turning point of the story is when Fortunato realizes his predicament of being chained to the wall of the inner recess of the catacomb and bricked in, is not carried out in jest but in malice and his death is imminent.

Show the contrast of the saying or deed: "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right." -Henry Ford
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(Answering to the best of my ability, not quite sure on how to answer this though)

     Actions speak louder than words, everybody's heard this, but how does it apply to real situations? Do our thoughts and feelings truly have more impact on people? To be frank, yes, and no.

     Let's start by talking about Action and intention. Something i always tell myself is that we judge others by their behavior and not their intent, as it's the opposite for us, in order to properly discuss this my must remove any action-based bias. In order to do that let's look over a situation. A well known and respected social media influencer has recently been targeted by a small content creator on the same platform, he sends threatening messages to her in comments at any chance, her fans attack the small creator for this, but what they didn't know was that she abused her children by gaslighting them. See how the situation changes just by seeing his intention? Let that serve as our lesson on action and intention.

    Now we can get into the meat and bones of this essay, the contrast of actions and words. there are several instances where actions are more effective, as well as words. The general idea of Actions over words is focusing on saying and not doing, in other words saying you'll do something and doing nothing is pointless while you should just get up and do something. The idea of words over actions stems from the idea that action (mostly violent) won't win over anyone and calm words are more persuasive. There is no real way to say which is better as there are so many possible scenarios that in the end they balance out. what side your on is your choice, or would you rather just be in the middle?
