nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Moral corruption is evident throughout Hamlet. The statement "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," made by Marcellus in act I scene IV, sums up the moral corruption in the play.

You may have used these other instances of moral corruption in your answer:

Claudius eyeing his brother's wife, Queen Gertrude

Claudius murdering his brother

Claudius marrying his brother's wife

Claudius and Gertrude attempting to convince Hamlet to move on from his father's death and accept his stepfather

Polonius' treatment of Ophelia and his willingness to do the bidding of Claudius

Prince Hamlet plotting to kill his uncle Claudius

Prince Hamlet abusing his mother and calling her promiscuous

Hamlet killing Polonius instead of Claudius

Claudius ordering the king of England to put his nephew, Hamlet, to death

Claudius poisoning Laertes's sword before his duel with Hamlet

Hamlet stabbing Claudius

the death of all the morally corrupt characters of the play (Hamlet, Polonius, Laertes, Claudius, Gertrude, and even Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), which may mean that corruption will lead to death

You may also have used quotes from the play similar to the one below, in which Hamlet laments his mother's sudden marriage to his uncle:

O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer—married with my uncle,

My father's brother...

Sandburg's use of literary techniques such as onomatopoeia, alliteration, repetition, and nonsense words makes the story playful and cheerful.

The onomatopoeic words in the story enhance the reader's imagination of the events:

Then the blue foxes and the yellow flongboos pattered pitty-pat, pitty-pat, each with feet and toenails, ears and hair, everything except tails, pattered scritch scratch over the stone floors out into the train shed.

Alliteration and repetition make the story musical and rhythmic, giving it a captivating quality:

And there on a high stool in a high tower on a high hill sits the Head Spotter of the Weather Makers . . . A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.

The author also uses nonsense words such as flongboo, parleyhoo, and flangwayers. These words make the story fascinating and engaging for children, who can use their imaginations to understand what these words represent. For example, a reader might try to imagine what a "flongboo" or a "flangwayer" looks like:

It is hard for the yellow flongboo to lose his tail because it lights up his way when he sneaks at night on the prairie, sneaking up on the flangwayers, the hippers and hangjasts, so good to eat.

These nonsense words also provide a comedic touch to the story:

The animals picked a committee of representatives to represent them in a parleyhoo to see what steps could be taken by talking to do something.
