Question

1. This scene is from the second act of Hamlet. The author's choice to use a soliloquy at this point in the play helps advance the plot by-

A. making the audience approve of Hamlet's plan to get revenge on his family later in the play.
OB. allowing Hamlet's family to find out what he is plotting, which enables them to foil his plan.
C. creating a mood of forgiveness that will affect Hamlet's actions toward his uncle and mother.
D. creating tension in the rising action of the play as the audience learns of Hamlet's plan for revenge.

Answer 1

Dramaturgically this monologue serves to reveal Hamlet's melancholy, and the root of his suffering. Here we see Hamlet quite literally wishing he could “melt” away and get out of this horrible situation he finds himself in. A quintessential soliloquy in the Shakespearean canon, this is a gift for any actor to tackle.16 abr 2020
