Question

Which of the following events in Hamlet is an example of dramatic irony? Select all that apply. the appearance of the Ghost to Hamlet Hamlet sparing Claudius, who appears to be kneeling in prayer Gertrude's confession of guilt and shame to Hamlet Hamlet stabbing Polonius behind a curtain, who he takes to be a spying Claudius

Answer 1

The Ghost reveals to Hamlet that he was poisoned to death by Claudius who spread the rumor that he died of snake bite which is believed to be true by everyone in Denmark so that's one. Hamlet's character is very complex and his erratic behavior confuses his friends when he wants to kill Claudius, but he wants to be sure Claudius will suffer. So with that in mind, I think Hamlet sparing Claudius would be another. These are the best I could come up with so I hope these help. If so, it would be really appreciated if you awarded me the Brainliest Answer if it does help.
