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>

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.

Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:

  1. "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"

="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.

2.  "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"

= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.
