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.
Assuming that you are referring to Elie Wiesel and his memoir “Night,” here is the best answer I can provide for you, given the lack of context in your question. I hope this helps somehow:
At the beginning of his memoir after the Jews in his hometown were forced out of their homes and into ghettos by German Nazis, Wiesel states how those imprisoned within the walls of the ghetto failed to acknowledge the genuine terror of their situation and felt comfort and solidarity with the acknowledgment that they were safe from harm from the outside world, or those outside the ghetto, which in turn, ended up being proven false; however, the Jews forced themselves to believe in their deluded fabrication rather than face the sorrowful reality that was now and would soon become the rest of their life. "The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew; it was ruled by delusion.” (Wiesel 11.) Had those imprisoned in the ghettos not been so brainwashed by their falsified delusion that life was better in the ghetto, they could have tried to escape or avoid ending up in it when they had the opportunity to do so.
