Leartes and Fortinbras share the same fate as Hamlet, the three of them lost their fathers in unfortunate circumstances. They feel the same kind of grieve of losing a loved one. But each reacts, differently. Their behaviour play a close related trait towards advice and duty, action versus inaction and sanity versus madness. Hamlet and Leartes want to get revenge, while the first is looking forward is getting the throne back and considers the consequences of his actions. Leartes, on the other hand, is blinded by his feelings (madness) and takes belligerent actions without thinking on the consequences.

Hamlet and Fortinbras, want to take revenge both. Whereas Hamlet only seeks to get the throne back and keeps on devating on how and when to take action, Fortinbras wants to clean his family's name and fights in an orderly fashion, with the use of an army.

A) Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text.
kati45 [8]

1. The Prioress's description reveals the theme of delicacy, modesty and elegance that the churches represented. Although Catholicism preached the benefits of poverty, the church was elegant, beautiful, with a noble appearance, but modest behavior, just as the Prioress represented. She also shows the ideal feminine standard for the time, being highly praised, but chaste and modest.

2. The monk also suggests the refinement and wealth that could be observed in churches. However, the monk preaches about the benefits of poverty, which can show the inconsistency and hypocrisy that the clergy presented, this is also reinforced by the fact that the monk does not present himself as an evil character, but we also cannot say that there is goodness in him.

3. The friar represents the ambition of the churches, since he shows himself as a charming and wise man, but he is disguised and pretended and is always ready to hamper the faithful and use their faith to obtain large collections that increase their wealth.

4. Parson represents the goodness and faithfulness of the church in following the principles of christ, helping the poor, being honest and upright. He is described as a man of God, who has not been corrupted by wealth, lives a humble life and helps the faithful without asking for large payments.

the keel is the part of the ship that provides stability. what is whitman referring to with the phrase the steady keel
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The keen is a part of the boat that is used to support the boat, as in the poem the keen is used as a symbol of a strong nation.

Explanation:

The first use of the keel represents stability that the boat needs to have on the water. The other use of keel is as a synecdoche.  

In Witman’s poem, the steady keel is a symbol of a strong and stable nation, that although has to pass many obstacles it maintains itself strong. It represents the whole boat that carries the nation on its deck.
