Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet. When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport In mincing with his sword her husband’s limbs,
The instant burst of clamour that she made— Unless things mortal move them not at all— Would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven, And passion in the gods. What does the excerpt about Hecuba suggest about her state of mind? She is confused by the sight of her murdered husband. She is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband. She is unaffected by the sight of her murdered husband. She is joyful at the sight of her murdered husband.
What this excerpt about Hecuba suggests about her state of mind is that she is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband. Hamlet describes a scene when Hecuba saw Pyrrhus killing her husband before her own eyes, and was devastated by the scene. He probably uses this scene to allude to the murder of his own father and the grief his mother felt / should have felt.
