Hamlet wants to kill Claudius as he is having a discussion with his mother, Gertrude, however he accidentally kills Polonius instead. It is important that he finds him praying, because he holds back killing him because he does not want him to be killed while he is praying for his sins, because that would mean he is going to heaven. Hamlet wants him to go to hell. He decides to wait until Claudius commits another crime such as incest or heavy drinking.

When Hamlet goes to kill Claudius in act III, scene III, he notices his uncle praying. Hamlet feels that if he kills his uncle as he prays, his uncle’s soul will be washed free of sin because he has prayed to God for repentance. Hamlet does not want his uncle to go sin-free to heaven and decides to wait till later to kill him, after he has sinned again. The fact that Claudius prays immediately after the play-within-a-play is significant because, in Hamlet’s mind, it confirms his uncle’s guilt and puts to rest the inner conflict Hamlet experienced before the event.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The trees are as tall as their mother.

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Simile is a figurative language used for the comparison of two things by using the word; as or like. Thus, a simile compares two things, places, or people using these two (2) words; as or like.

Hence, a simile for the tall trees are her children could be written as; "The trees are as tall as their mother."
