Answer 1

The lines in question from 'Hamlet' are spoken by Hamlet himself, revealing his inner turmoil and disapproval of his mother's remarriage to his uncle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines "O, most wicked speed, to post / with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! / It is not nor it cannot come to good." are spoken by Hamlet in Shakespeare's play, 'Hamlet'. This line is part of Hamlet's soliloquy in Act I, Scene II, where he expresses his disgust and dismay at his mother Gertrude's hasty remarriage to his uncle Claudius, shortly after the death of Hamlet's father. Here, Hamlet is grappling with conflicting emotions towards his mother and the circumstances of his father's death, highlighting his sense of betrayal and moral outrage at what he perceives as incestuous behavior.
