Answer:OK. It's the fencing match. And I think it's actually a two-point plan.

Explanation:

First of all, Laertes once to cut Hamlet's throat in the church, but Claudius persuades him there's a better way. To somehow rig the fencing match so that Hamlet ends up dead. Laertes agrees:

I will do't!

And for that purpose I'll anoint my sword.

I bought an unction of a mountebank,

So mortal that but dip a knife in it,

Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare,

Collected from all simples that have virtue

Under the moon, can save the thing from death

This is but scratch'd withal. I'll touch my point

With this contagion, that, if I gall him slightly,

It may be death.

So, the poison on the rapier will kill Hamlet. But Claudius organises a back up plan:

Therefore this project

Should have a back or second, that might hold

If this did blast in proof. Soft! let me see.

We'll make a solemn wager on your cunnings—

I ha't!

When in your motion you are hot and dry—

As make your bouts more violent to that end—

And that he calls for drink, I'll have prepared him

A chalice for the nonce; whereon but sipping,

If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck,

Our purpose may hold there.

Claudius will put poison into a chalice, and offer it to Hamlet as a toast, if the rapier plan fails to work. So it's a two-point plan for killing him off.

Hope it helps!

Answer: A duel is arranged between Hamlet and Laertes. During the match, Claudius conspires with Laertes to kill Hamlet. They plan that Hamlet will die either on a poisoned rapier or with poisoned wine. The plans go awry when Gertrude unwittingly drinks from the poisoned cup and dies.

What is the author’s objective in giving lectures from the book of Five Lectures on Blindness
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The lectures were addressed to individuals who could see to highlight and create awareness on the discrimination and withholding of privileges to the blind.

Explanation:

Written by Kate M. Foley, the book, Five Lectures on Blindness was meant to be read at the summer session of the University of California in 1918. The author who was blind herself but was mentally intelligent and smart had been denied jobs due to her disability. She wrote this book to draw the attention of the public to the discrimination being meted out to blind people.

For example, she talked about a very smart lawyer who when he became blind, was now pitied by his colleagues and would not be offered jobs by clients. She appealed to people with sight to show more empathy to the blind and allow them to do work that they were qualified for.
