Answer:

The correct answer is In contrast to Gertrude, Hecuba is the ideal image of a grieving widow.

Explanation:

Shakespeare alludes to Hecuba in this scene since in contrast to Gertrude Hecuba is the ideal image of a grieving widow.

As we know, Hamlet did not want her mother to marry Claudius since he had murdered his father. That is why Gertrude does not appear to be the typical widow who mourns his dead husband, but quickly remarries.

Instead Hecuba, Priam's wife is a great example of a grieving widow.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since i know his history pretty well i would do it like this:

William Bradford (1590-1657) was a founder and longtime governor of the Plymouth Colony settlement. Born in England, he migrated with the Separatist congregation to the Netherlands as a teenager. Bradford was among the passengers on the Mayflower’s trans-Atlantic journey, and he signed the Mayflower Compact upon arriving in Massachusetts in 1620. As Plymouth Colony governor for more than thirty years, Bradford helped draft its legal code and facilitated a community centered on private subsistence agriculture and religious tolerance. Around 1630, he began to compile his two-volume “Of Plymouth Plantation,” one of the most important early chronicles of the settlement of New England.

Born of substantial yeomen in Yorkshire, England, Bradford expressed his nonconformist religious sensibilities in his early teens and joined the famed Separatist church in Scrooby at the age of seventeen. In 1609 he immigrated with the congregation, led by John Robinson, to the Netherlands. For the next eleven years he and his fellow religious dissenters lived in Leyden until their fear of assimilation into Dutch culture prompted them to embark on the Mayflower for the voyage to North America.
