Hamlet`s Ghost compares Claudius to a snake. <em>In the bible the serpent represents the Devil when trying to tempt Adam and Eve.</em> The snake is known for its craftiness, and is able to carry out his devious schemes. By comparing Claudius to a snake, Shakespeare (the author) <u><em>has shown us the manipulative evil side of Claudius.  </em></u>

<em>The death of Hamlet’s father is strikingly similar to the garden of Eden. </em>Hamlet’s father is killed by poison being put into his ear. In the garden of Eden, the serpent pours temptation into Adam and Eve’s ears and they are banned from the perfect garden. The death of Hamlet’s father destroys Hamlet’s so called “perfect life” and his life is a muck when his mother marries Claudius. The serpent represents both Claudius’ manipulative evil spirit and intentions, and Hamlet’s life edging closer to destruction.  

<u><em>Therefore, the correct answer must be the second statement.   </em></u>

Identify two technologies developed during World War II, and explain how these technologies affected the war's outcome.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Two pieces of technology that stand out in the aviation history of World War II are Radar and Bombsights. Both technologies played a crucial role in the defensive and offensive strategies of all the countries involved.

Radar technology played a significant part in World War II and was of such importance that some historians have claimed that radar helped the Allies win the war more than any other piece of technology, including the atomic bomb.

Explanation:

the bombsights in World War II were implemented to help keep aircraft and crews safer by allowing them to bomb from higher altitudes. Modern guided and smart bombs provide a similar safety through their technology of “finding” a target, instead of just being dropped on one.
