Question 3: What does this act and line from the play show the audience in regard to Hamlet’s character development?

Hamlet finally made a decision and acted on it, which he had not been able to do up to this point.

Polonius' assassination shows how Hamlet's character has developed and Polonius' cause of death.

Question 4: What literary device is used in Ophelia’s song from the play?

Simile.

A simile compares two things usually using "as" or "like." In this case, the simile is "his beard was as white as snow." The beard is being compared to the snow.

Hamlet plans to pretend that he has gone mad in order to confuse the king and his attendants.

Question 6: What message is he attempting to convey to his old 'friends' and the audience?

Hamlet is saying that his madness changes like the weather, and that he is only mad some of the time.

This basically means that he is trying to tell them that he is not actually mad and that he is just pretending.

Question 7: Hamlet’s character is best understood through ______ because _________.

Hamlet's character is best understood through his soliloquies because his inner thoughts and feelings come out in this way.

Question 8: Why does Hamlet hesitate?

Since his father is a ghost, he doesn't think this is an even exchange.

Shakespeare often employs a literary technique known as dramatic irony. dramatic irony exists when the reader or viewer knows so

Neporo4naja [7]

One of the other moments of dramatic irony in act 4 is when Juliet tells her father in scene 2 that she will forever more be ruled by him and do what he says. This is dramatic irony because the audience knows she plans on faking her death to run away, but Capulet doesn't. His happiness and excitement to go forward with the wedding builds up the act before becoming dramatic again.

The next example is when Juliet's family discovers her dead in scene 4. The audience knows that she has taken the potion to just appear dead, but this scene gives a lot of drama because the audience gets to see how her family reacts and that they actually do care about her (especially her father).
