The reason why this can happen is because of the transformative journey that Jin Wang is on. At first, Jin Wang is ashamed of being Chinese, and wants to appear as white as possible. Wei-Chen is fully Chinese, and because of this, he is a foil, as he is a character that highlights the characteristics of the protagonist by contrasting them with his own, which are the opposite.

However, as the story progresses, Jin Wang becomes even less similar to Wei-Chen, as he kisses Suzy and as he transforms into Danny. Jin Wang, therefore, not only contrasts with Wei-Chen, but is in open opposition to him. This makes Wei-Chen the antagonist.

What is the most likely reason Shakespeare repeats "great" and "greatly"? Shakespeare utilizes the repetition of "great" to help
liraira [26]

Answer:

Shakespeare capitalizes on the multiple meanings of "great" to help emphasize Hamlet’s point.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet over the death of his father, King Hamlet. And in the process of trying to avenge his father's death, hamlet exudes certain qualities of man such as appearance vs. reality, truth vs. lie, goodness over evil, love, religion, women, etc.

In Act IV scene iv, Hamlet reflects <em>"Rightly to be great / Is not to stir without great argument, / But greatly to find quarrel in a straw"</em>. This scene where Hamlet and his friends encountered Prince Fortinbras on his way to fight Poland over a small patch of land revealed to Hamlet how people are ready to shed blood over a piece of worthless land. But, even though he had much to gain by getting revenge on his father's killers, he is still indecisive.

So, <u>by repeating the word "great" and "greatly", Shakespeare helps emphasize the importance of Hamlet's point of getting his father's revenge</u>.
