ololo11 [35]3 years ago
8 0

The Prince of Denmark, the title character, and the protagonist. About thirty years old at the start of the play, Hamlet is the son of Queen Gertrude and the late King Hamlet, and the nephew of the present king, Claudius. Hamlet is melancholy, bitter, and cynical, full of hatred for his uncle’s scheming and disgust for his mother’s sexuality. A reflective and thoughtful young man who has studied at the University of Wittenberg, Hamlet is often indecisive and hesitant, but at other times prone to rash and impulsive acts.

The King of Denmark, Hamlet’s uncle, and the play’s antagonist. The villain of the play, Claudius is a calculating, ambitious politician, driven by his sexual appetites and his lust for power, but he occasionally shows signs of guilt and human feeling—his love for Gertrude, for instance, seems sincere.

The Queen of Denmark, Hamlet’s mother, recently married to Claudius. Gertrude loves Hamlet deeply, but she is a shallow, weak woman who seeks affection and status more urgently than moral rectitude or truth.

The Lord Chamberlain of Claudius’s court, a pompous, conniving old man. Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia.

Hamlet’s close friend, who studied with the prince at the university in Wittenberg. Horatio is loyal and helpful to Hamlet throughout the play. After Hamlet’s death, Horatio remains alive to tell Hamlet’s story.

Polonius’s daughter, a beautiful young woman with whom Hamlet has been in love. Ophelia is a sweet and innocent young girl, who obeys her father and her brother, Laertes. Dependent on men to tell her how to behave, she gives in to Polonius’s schemes to spy on Hamlet. Even in her lapse into madness and death, she remains maidenly, singing songs about flowers and finally drowning in the river amid the flower garlands she had gathered.

IgorC [24]
Answer 1 is the most likely option.
I have not read the book but the hint refers to PROBLEMS that Jack is causing, and challenging leadership and rules seems the most problematic as the rest of the answers seem like helpful behavior.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

How foolish i was to have believed that young woman...

It all sounded a bit odd from the beginning, and I ignored the other warning signals in my attempt to help a young woman in need.

Let me tell you how it all started: I was standing in a very short line at the mall, waiting to pay for the items I bought when I suddenly got accosted by a lady of not more than 23 years with red eyes and looking clearly in despair. She told me she had no money on her and her credit card was flagged but she really needed to get some cereal for her baby at home as he was hungry and sick.

The story sounded odd and I kept wondering why I was the one she approached out of half a dozen people. I decided to give her a hundred dollars and she thanked me profusely.

On my way to my car however, I saw her with a well-known drug dealer and it appears she's a junkie who scammed me for a quick fix

I was angry, disappointed all at the same time, but decided not to accost her and accuse her of being a disgusting thief, I walked trance-like to my car and all the while kept thinking, how foolish i was to have believed that young woman.
