English

4 0

Answer and Explanation:

The irony is presented in the poem as a situation that was not expected by the character of the poem, but that in a way the reader already imagined could happen. This is because the poem features a bell that was placed near a very dangerous rock near the sea. This bell was intended to serve as a warning so that sailors would not hit the rock and sink their boats.

However, a pirate, without any reason and only with the intention of harming the sailors, removed the bell from the rock and threw it into the sea.

The reader knew that the pirate would be punished in some way for this vile act, but the pirate did not expect punishment. The punishment he received was to hit his vessel on the rock and sink with it.

Which is the best description of how Gertrude is characterized in this passage?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

C). 'Gertrude is critical of her son's continued mourning and urges him to move on.'

Explanation:

In the given passage from one of the most acknowledged tragedies of Shakespeare i.e. 'Hamlet'(Act I, scene II), option C appropriately characterizes Gertrude as she was 'critical of her son's constant mourning over the death of his noble father and urges him to move on in life'. <u>This characterization is exemplified through her statement when she says 'cast thy nighted colour off' and 'let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark'.</u> Hamlet's mother is highly concerned towards him and therefore, requests him to stop putting on those black clothes in remembrance of his father as it is nature's cycle('one who lives ultimately dies') and suggests him to move forward in life. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
