Answer:

C). 'Gertrude is critical of her son's continued mourning and urges him to move on.'

Explanation:

In the given passage from one of the most acknowledged tragedies of Shakespeare i.e. 'Hamlet'(Act I, scene II), option C appropriately characterizes Gertrude as she was 'critical of her son's constant mourning over the death of his noble father and urges him to move on in life'. This characterization is exemplified through her statement when she says 'cast thy nighted colour off' and 'let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark'. Hamlet's mother is highly concerned towards him and therefore, requests him to stop putting on those black clothes in remembrance of his father as it is nature's cycle('one who lives ultimately dies') and suggests him to move forward in life. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

I need to get a good question from here, someone will help me ask a question.

Okay so I think you're asking for a question to further your argument and in that case, I would suggest maybe
“so why don't they stand up for them?”
You could then go into the idea that the same people who have these beliefs also believe that they as individuals can't do anything to help the oppressed
I hope this is helpful for you and may have even sparked ideas of your own
:)

What is not one of Mark Antony’s true intentions behind his speech

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: To befriend and support the conspirators.

Explanation:

Mark Antony is a character from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. He is Caesar's supporter and friend. It is due to his support that Caesar managed to become as successful as he is, and to be the ruler of Rome. However, Roman Senators, including Brutus and Cassius, decide to murder Caesar, as he has become too powerful. Upon Caesar's death, Mark Antony delivers a speech which makes people who loved Caesar both sad and angry, weakens the conspirators' control, and affects the emotions of the audience through the use of demagogic language. Therefore, the purpose of the speech was quite the opposite of befriending and supporting the conspirators.
