Answer: He tells the ending of the story first, and then explains how it happened so that the reader knows the emotions colonel Owens feels after their escape.

Explanation: Charles Chesnutt gives a general idea of how the characters end up at the beginning of the story so that the reader is aware of where is everything leading up to. He then tells the journey of the Colonel's son and the slave he saved; Grandison, since he looked trustworthy to the Colonel. After a series of events, the author chooses to finally reveal how unfortunate the Colonel feels after catching a glimpse of Grandison and his family escaping on a boat.

Which theme best supports Polonius and Claudius when speaking of Hamlet in Act II, Scene II? *
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Insanity

Explanation:

In Act II and Scene II of Hamlet, we see Polonius and Claudius talking about the possibility that Hamlet is crazy, insane. Polonius is sure of this insanity because he has already seen Hamlet with strange behaviors, like walking alone in the gallery for hours and besides, he read a note that Hamlet sent to Ophelia that reinforced the impression of madness that the youth possessed.

Claudius is hearing everything clearly and has some doubts about Hamlet's madness. The whole conversation took place in the presence of Hamlet's mother, who believes that the son may have gone mad because of the grief in the father's death and the mother's marriage to the man who occupied Hamlet's father's throne.
