<span>1. Considers appearances more important than quality of character - D. Polonius
2. Weak rather than evil - B. Gertrude
3. Simple, innocent, obedient - E. Ophelia
4. Achieved balance between emotion and reason - F. Horatio
5. no-to-be-trusted friends - C. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
6. A young Dane who jumps to conclusions and makes resolutions rashly - H. Hamlet
7. Shrewd, practical, and materialistic  - A. Claudius
8. Intelligent and idealistic - G. Laertes

1. Polonius is a shallow man, who doesn't really care about what people are like, as long as they behave according to his own standards
2. Gertrude is not evil - she is just easily manipulated into committing bad things
3. Ophelia is also easily manipulated, but because she is so good and kind she doesn't believe evil exists, and when she finds out, she kills herself
4. Horatio is the wisest character in the play, one of the rare ones who actually survives
5. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ultimately betray their "best friend" Hamlet
6. Hamlet doesn't really think anything through, he just acts on a whim
7. Claudius is a smart man, driven by his materialistic need for money and power, and wants to rule the kingdom
8. Laertes wanted to change the world, but ended up killing Hamlet and dying himself</span>

Which genre uses techniques such as figurative language to explore thoughts about a subject in a concise way?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The answer is a lyric poem.  

Explanation:

A lyric poem is short, highly musical verse that conveys powerful feelings. The poet may use rhyme, meter, or other literary devices to create a song-like quality. A lyric poem is a private expression of emotion by a single speaker. For example, American poet Emily Dickinson described inner feelings when she wrote her lyric poem that begins, "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, / And Mourners to and fro."

Song lyrics often begin as lyric poems. In ancient Greece, lyric poetry was, in fact, combined with music played on a U-shaped stringed instrument called a lyre. Through words and music, great lyric poets like Sappho (ca. 610–570 B.C.) poured out feelings of love and yearning.

Lyric poetry also has no prescribed form. Sonnets, villanelles, rondeaus, and pantoums are all considered lyric poems. So are elegies, odes, and most occasional (or ceremonial) poems. When composed in free verse, lyric poetry achieves musicality through literary devices such as alliteration, assonance, and anaphora.
