Excerpt from A Defence of Skeletons

English
2 answers:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C, He maintains that the fear of death and skeletons is irrational and should be conquered.

Explanation:

Here is what in the text makes me believe this.

  • "So he is <em>mysteriously</em> ashamed of the skeleton of himself in death." He finds it mysterious to why people are ashamed or afraid of skeletons.
  • "One would think it would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton..." His reflection upon the fear of skeletons.
  • "A man might as well say that a factory chimney was typical of bankruptcy." I interpret this as making fun of the fear of skeletons.
  • "There is no reason why this creature... the living skeleton, should not become the essential symbol of life." I think he's proclaiming that skeletons deserve more credit.

Hopefully this helps. Sorry my response was so long. Good luck.

In these lines, Laertes talks about the warming of the sickness in his heart. This refers to the rage he feels for Hamlet as he hopes to execute his revenge on him.

<h3>What is Imagery?</h3>
