Match the characters in Hamlet to their attributes. Tiles desire for revenge respect for her father guilt mixed loyalties Pairs
True [87]

1. desire for revenge = Hamlet

At the beginning of the play, we can see that Hamlet's father died. However, we soon find out that he didn't die of natural causes, but was rather murdered by someone. Hamlet has suspicions that the murderer is his uncle, Claudius, and therefore wants to have his revenge on him. This motif moves the entire plot of the play.

2. respect for her father = Ophelia

Ophelia greatly respects her father and never does anything that might not please him. She reveres her father and wants to be an example of a perfect daughter, which she indeed is. However, she falls in love with Hamlet, who only appears to love her back, and she commits suicide during the play.

3. guilt = Claudius

Claudius shows guilt for what he did at one point in the play. He is talking to himself and says that he knows what he did was wrong (killing his own brother and marrying his widow), however, he's gone too far now to give up. Therefore, he pushes his guilt aside and continues ruling, until Hamlet kills him.

4. mixed loyalties = Gertrude

Gertrude feels she should be loyal to Hamlet and her late husband on one hand, but on the other, she also feels she should be loyal to her new husband, Claudius. She is torn between Hamlet and Claudius and spends the rest of the play deciding whose side she is supposed to take.

Is the passage of dialogue written correctly or incorrectly? "Hey, Dad!" Kelly exclaimed. "I won a trophy." "I'm so proud of you
ad-work [718]
This passage is written incorrectly because in a dialogue, each time a different person speaks, it has to start a new paragraph. So in this case, the passage does not create a new paragraph once the father speaks. <span />
