The excerpt from this story describes a scene that is dark and kind of depressing, huh? "Decayed inn", "dingy sign", the sign was "dark and indecipherable...black" and not exactly happy and bright. 

Your first option suggests that this is a flashback to how the man died. There is no mention in this piece of how a person died or that this is a flashback. 

While this excerpt certainly has a dark tone and feel, there doesn't seem to be much humor in it.

The mood of this story certainly feels dark and gloomy. The description of the inn, sky, and background can give the reader a mental image of a someplace that isn't really friendly or inviting.

The final option suggests mistrust or difficulties that characters are having. This paragraph does not mention the feelings of characters, but more focuses on the setting.

The best option for this question would be the third one, to reinforce the dark and somber mood of the story.

kakasveta [241]

Although we never learn exactly what changes Hamlet asked The Players to make in their script, it is almost certain that the changes included the dumb show portion that presents the Fellow pouring poison into the King’s ear as well as the lines about fidelity and widowhood. One aspect of the irony is that Hamlet requested the changes so he could watch Claudius’s reaction: to “catch the conscience of a king.” He later tells his step-father. Dramatic irony is simply giving the audience more information than another character has. When Gertrude says this, she is speaking to the audience, not another character. She is foreshadowing any negative consequences of another character's actions.
