CLAUDIUS] Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death / The memory be green, and that it us befitted / To bear our hearts in

(GHOST) Thus was 1. sleeping, by a brother's hand / or life, of crown, of queen, at once despatch'd
(LAERTES] Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister / And keep within the rear of your affection, / Out of the shot and danger of desire

Answer 1

The lines from Act 1 of Hamlet that provide exposition include Claudius' speech about the death of Hamlet's brother, Macbeth's soliloquy about his wife's death, and Polonius' disbelief in the existence of ghosts.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act 1 of Hamlet, the lines that provide exposition are:

• CLAUDIUS: Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death / The memory be green, and that it us befitted / To bear our hearts in grief, our whole kingdom / To be contracted in one brow of woe
• Macbeth: Walking in her sleep has been communicated to you by a skilful accumulation of imagined sensory impressions; the words of Macbeth on hearing of his wife's death strike us as if, given the sequence of events, these words were automatically released by the last event in the series.
• Polonius: My Lord, how cans't thou admit that thou hast seen a ghost! It is but a figment of your imagination!
