An independent clause and a dependent clause.
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence (i.e., it expresses a complete thought). However, a dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. Cause it is not a complete thought, it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence. The link between a dependent clause and an independent clause will often be a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.
I believe the correct answer is a duel between Laertes and Hamlet.
Laertes had many reasons to want to kill Hamlet, the most important of which are the facts that Hamlet killed Polonius, Laertes' father, and indirectly led to Ophelia, Laertes' sister, committing suicide. So the excerpt above talks about their future duel in which Hamlet says he would kill Laertes in only three hits.

Answer:
In literature, when the author uses exaggeration/oversimplification of certain character traits, it is referred to as a caricature. Often insulting, caricatures can also be complimentary or even have a political purpose.
In George Orwell's political allegory, <em>Animal farm</em>, Squealer is one of the three most important animals who rebel against their human farmer. Squealer comes as a clever character with good persuasion techniques. He is, however, quite selfish and power-hungry (like most of the leaders). The very fact that he is described as having a difficulty with seeing "out of his eyes" speaks volumes about both his physical appearance and personality. He is a very fat pig, indeed, but he also only cares about his own interests.
