Point of view can back up main ideas, theme, and /or thesis
Okay... judging by the fact that you need help with this question... you probably read the spark-notes version of Hamlet LOL! But that's okay I feel you because I did the same thing.
But basically at this point in the story, Ophelia has lost her mind. She's talking all kinds of nonsense. The reason why is a combination of the fact that Prince Hamlet rejected her. AAAAAAND Hamlet kinda sorta killed her father. But she doesn't know that. She just know's that he's been killed. And it pushed her over the edge.
So the answer to your question is the third option. Ophelia has gone coo-coo for CoCo Puffs.
Hope this helped.
One of the main themes of this story is that death is inescapable--no matter what we do to try to avoid it.
The clock reinforces this theme. While it does build suspense and is a part of the decor, the BEST explanation for how the clock functions is to symbolize the story's theme regarding death.
Therefore, the correct answer is the final one. The clock symbolizes the passing of time and reinforces the idea that no one can escape death.
Could you give answer choices, that would assist me better when helping you.
