ACT I:
The Ghost and Bernardo, Francisco, Horatio - it's not exactly a conflict, but there is much tension between the armed Ghost and the present men, as they don't know who he is and what he wants from them.
Denmark and Norway - we learn from Horatio about this conflict. The old king Hamlet fought Fortinbras, the old king of Norway, and killed him. Now the young Fortinbras wants revenge.
Claudius and young Hamlet - even in the second scene, we see that Hamlet doesn't like his uncle and his marriage with Gertrude. Claudius even wants to send Hamlet away.
Gertrude and Hamlet - Hamlet still doesn't suspect that his father was murdered, but he still loathes his own mother because of the inappropriate marriage with her brother-in-law, only weeks after her husband's death.
Laertes and Polonius are suspicious toward Hamlet, as they fear he might use Ophelia and abandon her.
The Ghost and Hamlet - Hamlet goes to face the Ghost, not knowing if that is a spirit sent from Hell. It turns out to be his father. The Ghost reveals that Claudius murdered him, building up the tension between Hamlet and Claudius, as well as Hamlet and Gertrude. Hamlet now wants revenge.

ACT II
The conflict between Polonius and Hamlet is sharpening. Hamlet is acting strangely, so Polonius sends Ophelia to test him, while he is spying on them.
Hamlet's and Ophelia's relationship is affected by conflict as well. Polonius forbade Ophelia to be with Hamlet; the two still love each other, but Hamlet doesn't want to let his love distract him from pursuing the truth.
Hamlet is being sarcastic with Polonius and openly ridicules him.
Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are also sent to Hamlet to test him. He sees through their intentions and openly despises them.

He once spent three months in jail because he stole a suit. He failed Math so he did not graduate from high school. Now Biff works in cattle ranches and farms. At his age of 34 he should already have a wife and family and a steady job yet he just wanders from one place to another looking for jobs.

Which of the following is not an example of situational irony?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

D. A teacher running right into a door and falling on her face

Explanation:

Situational irony is a situation, outcome or an action that happens although that was unexpected from the known facts or premises.

It is completely unexpected for an experienced Olympic diver to make such a beginner's mistake and do the belly flop.

We could say the same for an 80- year old lady to be familiar with modern technologies, let alone use them and be a part of it.

Also, a ridiculously short man winning a high-jump competition is a rather unexpected outcome.

However, a teacher running right into a door and falling is simply a painful accident, because teachers aren't in any way less prone to accidents nor it is expected of them to never accidentally injure themselves.
