Answer and Explanation:

There is a scene in "Hamlet" that presents a shocking moment of violence that shapes the rest of the story and presents an important point of the main character.

This scene occurs when Prince Hamlet, disgusted by the news that his marriage to his uncle, goes to his mother's room to find out about it. Arriving there, he and his mother start an intense discussion and it is at that moment that Shakespeare, finds a spy behind the curtains of the room. Thinking that he is his uncle, Hamlet stabs the spy who falls dead, revealing his identity, which, to everyone's surprise, was not Hamlet's uncle, but the father of the woman Hamlet loved.

This moment of violence, serves to shape the character of emotional lack of control that Hamlet presents, in addition to making him a character disliked by others, provoking Ophelia's madness and the distrust of Claudius, Hamlet's uncle and the villain of the story.

1. The most important thing in the "Allegory of the Cave" is that the people chained up had to interpret the shadows behind them. The main theme is that human perception cannot derive true knowledge, and instead, real knowledge can only come via philosophical reasoning.

2. You can relate this to life because if someone says something and encourages everyone else to believe them, they'll live their life believing something that's not true.

Which phrase refers to the contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen?
eduard

Situational Irony

Situational irony is the contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen. It refers to a specific situation or event. Verbal irony is the contrast between what someone says and what is actually meant. Think sarcasm. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows a key piece of information that a performer on stage does not. An example is Romeo and Juliet during the balcony scene. The audience knows Romeo is listening in on Juliet's private thoughts, but she does not. A conflict is a problem and the resolution is how it is fixed.
