Explanation:
Interesting in<em> “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention”</em> by Patrick Henry we note his use of figurative language to buttress his point and to compel his listening audience. He said emphatically, <em>"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts." </em>
Meanwhile, Ellen Sirleaf Johnson uses similar figurative language used by Henry, depicting the inaction of the world's government as a form of keep silent. She said,
<em>"the call for the reform of the United Nations...rings louder in its definite silence.. we urge the nations of the world...to bring this long silence to an end."</em>

Answer:
Claudius directs Gertrude to try to learn the cause of Hamlet’s odd behavior; they suspect it is the old king’s
death and their own recent marriage. Meantime, Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on Ophelia and Hamlet,
who spurns her and appears mad. The King reveals to Polonius his plan to send Hamlet to England with
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Hamlet seizes the opportunity presented by a traveling troupe of players to expose the King’s guilt with a
“play within a play.” Soon after, Hamlet delays killing Claudius because the King is at prayer, and Hamlet
does not wish to send him to heaven instead of hell. When Gertrude meets with Hamlet as Claudius has
directed, Polonius hides behind the arras in Gertrude’s room to eavesdrop on the conversation. Hamlet,
suspecting the interloper is Claudius, stabs and kills Polonius.
