Shakespeare allowed Claudius to present a soliloquy to show Claudius' rationality and his understanding of the actions and consequences he provoked.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Claudius is a complex character and aware of his actions.
- Shakespeare wanted to reinforce Claudius' rationality by showing that he killed his brother aware of what he was doing, but also aware that he was acting the wrong way.
- Claudius, despite being rational is a person capable of feeling emotions, as we can see in the way he talks to the queen.
- This ability is what makes him feel guilt, fear, and sadness for the sin he committed in full control of his actions.
Sin makes Claudius feel estranged from God. He wants to ask for forgiveness, but he knows he is not sorry, and therefore, God will not hear him. In this case, the soliloquy is what allows Claudius to express the guilt he has, even though he is happy with the result of his actions.

The best choice is option C. A conceit is an "extended metaphor" - meaning it is drawn out or lengthy, possibly even explored throughout the entire poem. Another characteristic of a conceit is that it is often a surprising unexpected comparison - for example, comparing two things that are not at all related - which may help the author of the poem to more effectively grab the reader's attention.
<span>An example of a conceit in poetry includes Shakespeare’s well-known sonnet, Sonnet 18, which begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Throughout the poem, the subject (the person the narrator is talking about) is compared to a summer's day, making this an extended metaphor.</span>
It is an example of a plot complication. The reader is surprised to learn that Jim has sold his watch to buy Della the hair combs.
