In Scene 1, Act 4 of "Hamlet", Gertrude hast o tell King Claudius that her own son committed a murder. When it comes to whether she seems sincere or not, an example of an opinion is the following:

- Yes, Gertrude seems sincere when she tells Claudius about Hamlet's crime. So much so that she convinces Claudius that Hamlet is mad.

Gertrude is Hamlet's mother. She is present when Hamlet kills Polonius and when he talks to the ghost of his father.

Of course, Gertrude cannot see the ghost. Nor does she understand why Hamlet is acting so strange lately and why he would even kill someone.

Although Hamlet thinks he is just pretending to be crazy, his actions are truly insane. For that reason, his own mother believes him to be mad.

That is why Gertrude seems sincere when she tells Claudius that Hamlet killed Polonius in a fit of insanity. She is sincere because she truly believes her son to be crazy.

In the Lightning Thief who was the one struggling for power
Sauron [17]

In the book, there where a few characters that you can say were struggling for power. One person I would say before everyone would be Luke. His constant training and all his experience would make him fit the discretion also at the end he turned out to be the true lightning thief. Another would be Kronos, although he isn't mentioned until the end of the book, he was the one manipulating everyone's thought and turning the good bad. He gave Luke the idea to steal the master bolt.  So either of the two could be the answer. Hope I helped. :)
