Answer:

The phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten.

Explanation:

Mary Harris Jones, also known as Mother Jones, was a prominent activist during her lifetime.  She worked as a schoolteacher and dressmaker. But after the Yellow fever epidemic hit her city and took away her family and her shop, she began organizing for the Knights of Labor and the United Mine worker.

She quotes that, "I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword." This phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten her to stop her work. With pen, someone can write about her, with a sword someone can kill her, or with the scaffold, she could be executed.

But she asserts that she is not afraid and she will continue to spread the truth.

What is the subject of hamlet's second soliloquy the famous to be or not to be speech?
Ghella [55]
In Hamlet's second monologue, he responds to a discourse that has quite recently been conveyed by one of a voyaging gathering of players, or on-screen characters, as of late landed at the mansion. This discourse concerns the antiquated story of the fall of Troy on account of the Greeks, and the terrible murder of the Trojan ruler, Priam. The Player gives off an impression of being overwhelmed by the feeling of the scene and winds up with tears in his eyes.
