I'm not sure where the blank is but I think the answer is carefully.
Explanation:
The first two lines in this excerpt from "A Grain of Sand" by Frances Ellen Watkins indicate its subject, which is the very grain of sand. In the first line it is mentioned explicitly, whereas in the second one it is replaced with the third person singular pronoun <em>it</em>: "Do you know to me it (the grain of sand) brought just a simple loving thought?". It is a quite common resource for authors, since the use of pronouns prevent poems, as well as other kinds of literary and non-literary works, from being repetitive, that is, pronouns help authors avoid using the same word or term over and over again.
Answer and Explanation:
Hamlet is, in fact, going crazy. This madness is the result of the environment in which he lives and the lack of proactivity with which he faces the situations to which he is subjected. Hamlet's initiative in pretending to be crazy is a good departure from the real madness he presents, we can see that, due to Hamlet's contradiction in acting after a lot of reflection, or acting in full impulse causing disastrous results and promoting evil to all around him, like the scene where he kills Ophelia’s father as a result of complete lack of rationality.
However, Hamlet's madness is gradual and we can see that he gets worse as the series begins. Not even Hamlet is sure of his sanity.
