Answer:

Hamlet adapts the play "The Murder of Gonzago" because he wants to use the play as <u>a way of revealing the truth about the death of his father</u>.  Hamlet believes that plays work as mirrors of society, and in this case he will use this play as a reflection of what happened to his father. The reaction of the audience will become the evidence he needs to prove that King Claudius killed his father.

Explanation:

"The murder of Gonzago" was originally a kind of morality play that Shakespeare took and changed a little bit to serve the purpose that was explained above.

William Shakespeare usually employed the strategy of including a play within a play.

In this text, Hamlet asks a group of actors to perform the play before the Danish court. Before doing so, he instructs them on what to say and how to say it.

This play within the play is very important for Hamlet, since it is part of his plan to see whether his uncle is guilty of the murder of his father or not; that's why this play will show all the sequence of events that took place in Denmark before, during and after the death of king Hamlet. Prince Hamlet's idea is to pay close attention to King Claudius' reaction to the play, so as to have evidence of his involvement in the assassination of his father.

Which best states the theory of plate tectonics?
Damm [24]

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's surface, the upper mantle and crust, was once made up of enormous rock plates that broke into smaller pieces approximately 300 million years ago. These smaller, broken plates form a more fluid rock surface in the mantle. Over time, the plates move and morph into natural land boundaries. This explains natural land phenomena, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.So A
