Answer:
Hercule Poirot returns home after an agreeable luncheon to find an angry woman waiting to berate him outside his front door. Her name is Sylvia Rule, and she demands to know why Poirot has accused her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met.. She is furious to be so accused, and deeply shocked. Poirot is equally shocked, because he too has never heard of any Barnabas Pandy, and he certainly did not send the letter in question. He cannot convince Sylvia Rule of his innocence, however, and she marches away in a rage.Shaken, Poirot goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him a man called John McCrodden who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy.
The mood of the poem is sad and dark, describing where the bones of someone's father are laying (at the bottom of the ocean.). Alliteration helps convey this mood because the repetition of sounds, especially the 'f' and 's' sounds, make a sound that resembles the rush of waves or the sound you hear if you're underwater.
The first example is in the first line, the 'f' sound is repeated in "Full Fathom Five thy Father lies". Then, for a second example, in lines 4-7, the 's' sound is repeated in "Suffer a Sea-change / Into Something rich and Strange. / Sea-nymphS". Again, those two sounds represent the sound and feeling of being underwater where the body is resting.
Answer: In this excerpt, Hamlet chracterizes his mother as b) fickle.
Explanation: In Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>, Gertrude is Prince Hamlet's mother and the Queen of Denmark. After King Hamlet dies, Gertrude decides to marry his brother, Claudius. Therefore,<u> in this excerpt from the play, Hamlet criticizes his mother for marrying Claudius so hastily after his father's death and he even describes her as a "weak" woman for doing it</u>. Hamlet questions Gertrude's commitment to his father and, in that sense, <u>he characterizes her as fickle, that is to say as a person who changes her feelings too suddenly</u>, which makes her unable to be loyal.
