Why is it controversial for Ophelia to be given some form of Christian burial?

melamori03 [73]

In the play 'Hamlet' (which is what I presume you are referring to), Ophelia's death is generally considered to be a suicide. Many are unhappy with the church allowing her to be given a Christian burial, because in much of the Christian tradition those who commit suicide are said to go to Hell after death. Thus, a Christian burial is usually reserved only for those who died of external causes.

Which sentence uses the correct punctuation? Please Answer

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The third one

Explanation:

The colon is used to separate independent clauses, usually as a way to lead the first sentence into the second one. The first one's first sentence is not an independent clause, so a colon doesn't work. The last one doesn't work either, as a semicolon is not typically used to introduce anything. The rest use commas, which aren't used to introduce anything either.
