He describes how people are behaving and what they are doing, including Hamlet and how his actions are perceived in the eyes of others. Direct would be if he directly told us things about Hamlet and his insanity, but this way he doesn't tell us but we understand the implications from the descriptions of what is going on.

Shakespeare uses indirect characterization in act II, scene I in Ophelia's conversation with Polonius, when she describes Hamlet’s behavior toward her. She relates Hamlet's apparent insanity in detail:

My lord, as I was sewing in my chamber,

Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbrac'd;

No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd,

Ungart'red, and down-gyved to his ankle,

Pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other,

And with a look so piteous in purport

As if he had been loosed out of hell

To speak of horror she comes before me.

PLATO CLASS!

Which is the best correction of the clause fragment?
Kitty [74]
Hello, the correct answer would be either A or D. B cannot be correct because it still remains a fragment. The same case is with C. A might be correct in the following sense: Since, they had traveled often. "Since" meaning - after that. And D might also be correct because if you delete "since", you are left with - "They had traveled often", which is a completely correct and completed sentence.

Question 4 of 10
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

A. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, metonymy, etc.

Metonymy was derived from the Greek word "metōnymía" which simply means change of name. It can be defined as a figurative language in which an object, thing, concept, or idea is referred to by the name of another that is closely related or associated with it. Thus, it involves substituting an object, thing, concept, or idea with a linked term having a close association.

A common example of metonymy is the pen is mightier than the sword.
