slega [8]4 years ago

Answer:

This soliloquy in act III scene I is one of the most famous speeches in all of Shakespeare's works: "to be, or not to be? That is the question."

The words in this speech inticate that Hamlet is considering death as a very positive option specially because of everything that he is going through. Moreover, he talks about how meaningless life can be.

Aside from that, throughout these words we can see how Hamlet constantly hesitates and overthinks his actions, this issue is present all throughout the play.

The first line sets the topic of this speech which is connected with whether it is worth living or not.  Is it worth all the suffering that we go through in life?

The following seven lines consider death to be like sleeping ( and dreaming) and therefore it becomes a very interesting option, although it is still very uncertain everything that happens around death. "To sleep - perchance to dream- ay...there's the rub" Hamlet says. So what he is saying is, what if dying is the same as sleeping? if so, then we have the chance to dream, but the answer is unknown, so there's the problem, we don't know for sure.

The last three lines of this speech reflect upon the fact that life is a torture because of this uncertainty that we have regarding what happens after life.

2. In the article, Canadian Olympic curler Brad Gushue says that if you "socialize with the wrong person, at the
Marysya12 [62]

The main thing which the quote tells you about the sacrifices that elite athletes need to make to be successful is:

  • They need to give up comfort, time, blood, sweat and tears to become successful.

The connections which I can make between this idea and the personal sacrifices that many people have been making during the pandemic is:

  • Many people have had to forego going outside to their favorite places so as not to spread the virus and also for the health workers that are in the frontline and putting their lives in danger is a huge sacrifice.

<h3>Who is an Olympian?</h3>

This refers to a top level athlete who has been training for a very long time to compete at the Olympic events to win gold medals.

Although the article wasn't mentioned, it can be inferred that Brad Gushue was of the opinion that a wrong association at the wrong time can end an Olympic dream.

As a result of this, he shows the sacrifice which these Olympic athletes and athletes in general has to make in order to become successful by maintaining a very high level.
