How does Laertes serve as a foil for Hamlet in act IV, scene V, of Hamlet?

English

Answer:

The fathers of both Laertes and Hamlet have been murdered. Yet the young men’s reactions to these events stand in sharp contrast. Laertes reacts immediately to the news of his father’s death. In act IV, scene V, he breaks into Claudius’s castle and confronts him. However, Claudius eventually convinces Laertes that he did not kill Laertes’s father. Laertes gets manipulated rather easily and complies with Claudius.

Hamlet, on the other hand, chooses to procrastinate and dwell on the murder, even testing his uncle’s guilt through a play. While Laertes is easily swayed into believing Claudius is innocent, Hamlet is harder to convince. Laertes seems rather rash in his decision-making. This character trait allows Claudius to control him, eventually leading to his downfall. In contrast, Hamlet is slow to act and delays the revenge he seeks; his indecision also leads to his downfall.

Unlike Hamlet, Laertes is a man of action.  He is far more vocal of his actions and has no problems with getting revenge without hesitation. Yet Hamlet is also smarter than him-basically a genius compared to a common man.

write a letter to the minister of resources on the dangers of polluting water bodies as a result of galamsey activities
OleMash [197]

Dear sir,

I am writing to you to inform you about the dangers that pollution of water bodies can cause in the environment.

Polluting water bodies is bad for the aquatic animals and for human beings. Pollution of the water can lead to the death of aquatic animals like the fishes, crabs etc.

Furthermore, pollution can lead to several health conditions such as diarrhea, cholera, cough etc. It's important to keep the environment clean and water bodies safe. Pollution can also lead to cancer which can then lead to death.

In conclusion, I'll be grateful if the issue of pollution is addressed and the environment becomes better for everyone.

Yours faithfully,

John.

Edit the words.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A subject-verb disagreement is when we use the plural-form verb for a single-form noun or a single-form verb is used for a plural noun, for example "she read" or "they reads". In the text the three subject-verb disagreements are: 1. "app that ask people" it should be: "app that asks people" because app is a singular noun. 2. "There are a difference", the correct form would be: "There is a difference" because difference is a singular noun. 3. "What the public actually desire" it should be: What the public actually desires" because public is a singular noun.
