Question

When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport

Answer 1

Answer:

- She is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from Shakespeare's popular tragedies 'Hamlet,' the author reveals that Hecuba was extremely distressed seeing the dead body of her murdered husband. This allusion to Greek Mythology by referring to Hecuba who laments the death of her husband King Priam after Troy's fall offers a deeper context for the readers to understand the situation of Hamlet's wife. She ends up being in a position of madness as she didn't know how to respond to it or how to accept the brutal truth that her husband is no more alive.
