Patrick Henry was an American attorney and orator who served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia.
In this text, Patrick Henry claims that the Patriots have tried everything they could to stop the tyranny of the British government. The government, on the other hand, has ignored them. Now, they have concluded that there is no hope for the two sides to be reconciled. The only option they have left is to fight against Britain.
ACT I:
The Ghost and Bernardo, Francisco, Horatio - it's not exactly a conflict, but there is much tension between the armed Ghost and the present men, as they don't know who he is and what he wants from them.
Denmark and Norway - we learn from Horatio about this conflict. The old king Hamlet fought Fortinbras, the old king of Norway, and killed him. Now the young Fortinbras wants revenge.
Claudius and young Hamlet - even in the second scene, we see that Hamlet doesn't like his uncle and his marriage with Gertrude. Claudius even wants to send Hamlet away.
Gertrude and Hamlet - Hamlet still doesn't suspect that his father was murdered, but he still loathes his own mother because of the inappropriate marriage with her brother-in-law, only weeks after her husband's death.
Laertes and Polonius are suspicious toward Hamlet, as they fear he might use Ophelia and abandon her.
The Ghost and Hamlet - Hamlet goes to face the Ghost, not knowing if that is a spirit sent from Hell. It turns out to be his father. The Ghost reveals that Claudius murdered him, building up the tension between Hamlet and Claudius, as well as Hamlet and Gertrude. Hamlet now wants revenge.
ACT II
The conflict between Polonius and Hamlet is sharpening. Hamlet is acting strangely, so Polonius sends Ophelia to test him, while he is spying on them.
Hamlet's and Ophelia's relationship is affected by conflict as well. Polonius forbade Ophelia to be with Hamlet; the two still love each other, but Hamlet doesn't want to let his love distract him from pursuing the truth.
Hamlet is being sarcastic with Polonius and openly ridicules him.
Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are also sent to Hamlet to test him. He sees through their intentions and openly despises them.
Answer:
A. The peasent threatens Valjean with a gun
Explanation:
Prejudice makes us judge different people as wrong and dangerous and because of that, we can even do things harmful to these people, in an attempt to get rid of some evil that we created in our head, but that we believe that person who is different can do.
An example of this is when the peasent watches Valjean approaching. Valjean is totally different, both aesthetically and in his way of acting. The peasent believes that this means that Valjean is dangerous and tries to protect himself by threatening him with a weapon.
