I wonder....if this is a multiple choice question? If not I believe the monster represents the societal fear of illness and disease.
As per assembling a writing plan for an essay, the better answer, if not the best, would be B. Material that catches the reader's interest.
Many would argue that the correct answer would be D. the general idea of your essay or maybe C. a brief summary of your conclusion or perhaps A. the first section of the body of your essay. Well, they are all correct. As long as what follows is duly taken noted and is consistent to keep the flow of the essay that when the final paper is read, it isn't confusing in any way. Though generally speaking, what should come first would be the material that catches the reader's interest.
In act III, scene iii, Claudius is kneeling in prayer when Hamlet finds him. He doesn't kill him, even though he has the perfect opportunity, because "Now might I do it pat, now he is praying;/And now I'll do't./And so he goes to heaven;/And so am I revenged. That would be scann'd:/A villain kills my father; and for that,/I, his sole son, do this same villain send/To heaven."
<span>In the next scene, Hamlet mistakes Polonius hiding behind the arras for Claudius. Unlike, scene iii, he's not in prayer, so there is no similar worry about whether he'll go to heaven. </span>
<span>Throughout the play, Hamlet seems to have this inner conflict over whether revenge is the 'right' thing to do. And what comes after death from a Christian perspective, depending upon how a person meets their end. It's something that is dealt with in more detail in the 'to be or not to be' speech and the 'gravedigger' scene. </span>
<span>Hope that helps!</span>
