HELP ME HELP ME <br> ASAP<br> (ENGLISH)!!!!!!

Rather than Ophelia, it was Gertrude that Hamlet tried to persuade to align with him and tell the truth about the death of the king. This scene can be found in Act III scene iv of the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.

Explanation:

Hamlet did not approach or ask Ophelia to align with him and tell the truth. Rather, it was his mother Queen Gertrude that he approached to change her ways and tell the truth to everyone.

Act III scene iv shows the scene where Queen Gertrude had called Hamlet for a private audience with her to reprimand him about his act of aggravating the King. Hamlet had organised a performance of a play where the very deeds of a younger brother killing his elder brother for the kingship were shown. Gertrude wanted Hamlet to apologize to his step father/uncle, the now king Claudius. In this scene, Hamlet pleads with her to change her ways, reveal the truth and become the lady she was before she married Claudius. This scene also ended in the accidental death of Polonius, Ophelia's father.

It was Gertrude that he wanted and offered a chance to align with him. Ophelia was the woman he loved who turned insane after the death of her father.

This clumsy living that moves lumbering as if in ropes through what is not done reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks

const2013 [10]

This quote means that, just like a swan is clumsy when walking, we are clumsy when living this life since it is not our natural state, as explained below.

<h3>What is the quote about?</h3>

The quote compares us while living this life to a swan walking. First, we need to understand that a swan looks graceful and elegant while swimming, but clumsy while walking.

The author makes that comparison to say that we live this life in a clumsy way because it is not our natural state. However, once we die, we are freed from all the pain and hardship and, like a swan in the water, we go back to our true element.
