In the given passage, <em>globe</em> can be best described as a <em>head.</em>
Explanation:
The passage you were given is from the play <em>Hamlet </em>(full title: <em>The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark</em>), written by English poet, playwright, and actor William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602. In the fifth scene of the first act, Hamlet says:
<em>Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted </em><em>globe</em><em>. </em>
In this scene, Hamlet speaks with the ghost, who claims to be his father's spirit and tells about how he was murdered in a <em>foul and most unnatural</em> way by his own brother, Claudius, who has successfully taken his throne. He is desperate as he is incapable of taking revenge and asks Hamlet to do that for him. This moves Hamlet, who swears to take revenge on his uncle. The word <em>globe </em>Hamlet uses here actually means <em>head.</em>
