How does the poet keep the reader on edge of their seats

Based on the passage, which best describes how Laertes feels about his father’s death? eager to take his father’s place anxious

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Laertes and Hamlet both lose a father by unnatural and sudden death , it appears from the text that Laertes was in France when he heard about Polonius's death, presumably from a friend of court.

The author doesn't show this scene; it's part of the action that happens offstage. Infact our first confirmation that Laertes knows about his father's death comes in Act IV, Scene 5, when Claudius is speaking to Gertrude about Ophelia's psychologically disturbed behavior.

During Laertes's absence, Hamlet kills Polonius in Gertrude's living room. As soon he was informed of his father's death, he suddenly returns to Denmark and leads a mob to storm and take the castle.

Laertes confronts the King, thinking he was responsible for Polonius' death. The King explains to him who the real killer was, and incites Laertes to kill Hamlet and avenge Polonius' death.

When Laertes discovers that his father is dead, he is furious. His feeling of anger contributes to the play main theme, revenge. Laertes is a little unclear on who is responsible for his father death, but he takes immediate action to avenge him.

1. At the top of page 7, Scrooge says "It's not convenient, and it's not fair.” What was he

Semmy [17]

When Scrooge states that "It's not convenient, and it's not fair" he's presenting his opinion on giving his employee a day off so that his employee can celebrate Christmas. Furthermore, Scrooge noticed an unusual presence in his house when the fireplace sculptures began to show the face of his deceased friend.

We can arrive at this answer because:

When Scrooge's employee asks to take a day off so he can celebrate Christmas with his family, Scrooge is unhappy with this request.
He claims that a day off is inconvenient as the work would be late and unfinished. Furthermore, he claims that it is not fair, as Scrooge would have to pay the employee's salary, even if he did not work for a day.
This shows Scrooge's greedy nature, which causes him to be visited by ghosts.
He realizes that there is something supernatural about his house when he sees that the sculptures are changing shape and presents the face of his friend, who has been dead for many years.
