First, Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare's novel is the queen of Denmark, and mother of Hamlet.
In the story, you can only analysis Gertrude by what others say about her, not by what she says. First, she only cares about her outside look and external pleasure. She's very sexually, which made Hamlet angry on her. She was even involved in plot of Claudius during his murder plan, and of course she announced everything when Hamlet confronted her: From adultery, to murder. But, as we can see later, all her lies were to protect everyone around her. She could have told the king that Hamlet killed Polonius, but she lies to him to protect Hamlet. Her love for everyone is big, since she cares about everyone and try to protect them as much as she can, staying loyal and faithful to them. But at the end, she gain her forgiveness for her sensual nature and shallow. But she dies drinking from a poison goblet.

I believe it would be D. ..
Its very hard to make a hook/intro without the basic outline/body
You don't have to worry about punctuation or spelling in a rough/first draft
You can always revise and make the tone more in with the subject.
First draft you would be mainly writing down all the information/ thoughts in your mind so you can look back and go through and decide whats more appropriate for your topic
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The theme is defined as the main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work, which may be stated directly or indirectly.
Motif is basically elements in the poem with symbolic meanings. So, in these poems you have listed, each of them have a motif of death through symbolization. For instance, in the poem "Ah, Are You Digging My Grave" he uses symbolism to express that he is dead and buried as you can see from the title itself and the first verse, "Ah, are you digging on my grave, <span>My loved one? -- planting rue?"
For "My Last Duchess" shows a great point of symbolism when the jealous Duke has a portrait of the Duchess he killed behind his curtains to ensure his dominance over her even when she is already dead.
In the last poem, "The Lady of Shalott" the character herself is a symbol. In the verses, "</span>The reaper, reaping late and early, Hears her ever chanting cheerly, Like an angel, singing clearly" it uses metaphors that symbolize death with the word, "reaper and reaping".
