Question

Which of the following of Claudius’s actions are genuine and reveal his morality? Select all that apply. His expressions of sympathy for Ophelia the guilt and regret he expresses in his soliloquy (Act 3 Scene 3) his offer to help the grieving Laertes get revenge his keeping secret the contents of the letter to England carried by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Answer 1

Honestly, I would pick just one option - the guilt and regret he expresses in his soliloquy.
This is the moment when Claudius admits that killing his own brother was wrong, however, he asks forgiveness and says that it is too late for him to stop now.
He doesn't really feel any sympathy for Ophelia - once he no longer needed to use her as his pawn, he discarded her. His offer to help Laertes get his revenge wasn't because of his morality, but rather fear that Hamlet might kill him. Him keeping secret about the letter is also immoral, given that the letter is an order for Hamlet to be executed.
