The way the lottery is done in "The Lottery" builds suspense by sparking the reader's interest as to what the lottery is. Once the reader comes to understand that being chosen for the lottery is a bad thing (even though it is not clear exactly what it is until the end), it is suspenseful that names are drawn and called out, because it is a slow way to reveal who is <em>not</em> the loser of the lottery, building the anticipation of the reader, and the fear/nerves of the characters. This is a successful way to form suspense for those both in and out of the story, because both the reader and characters know that something bad is going to happen, but it is a mystery as to whom it will happen.

Which is an objective summary of the "forgiveness triumphs" theme that is developed in Act V of Hamlet?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The option that contains the objective summary of "forgiveness triumphs" theme is:

B. The scene where Laertes asks forgiveness helps demonstrate that forgiveness can be more powerful than revenge.

Explanation:

<em>Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet: </em>

<em>Mine and my father's death come not upon thee, </em>

<em>Nor thine on me! [Dies.] </em>

<em>Hamlet: Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee. </em>

<em>I am dead, Horatio. </em>

-Hamlet,William Shakespeare

<u>Laertes seeks revenge for his father's and sister's deaths, for which he blames Hamlet. However, once they are both poisoned and about to die, Laertes realizes the futility of revenge. Death conquers all. Killing someone only brings more tragedy and suffering onto oneself and others. That is why Laertes asks Hamlet to "exchange forgiveness" with him: so that they can both be free from the deadly ropes of revenge and resentment.</u>
