Got it right on Edg

Answer 2

- "When Hamlet and Laertes fight at Ophelia's grave, each thinks he knows what the truth is. This scene helps to further develop the theme "the real truth is hard to see.""

Step-by-step explanation:

Theme is exemplified as the key idea that the author wishes to convey to the audience. It acts as a unifying element that binds the narrative together.

As per the question, the theme of 'truth is hard to discern' in Act V of Hamlet would best be exemplified through above mentioned objective summary as it details that how the fight between Hamlet and Laertes at the grave of Ophelia led both of them to think 'what truth actually is' as they both were shattered at the death of Ophelia. This further leads to development of universal theme/idea that the 'actual truth is hard to discern' as they both were filled with psychological torment and a feeling of guilt.
