From act 1, it is clear that claudius in involved in the theme of ? select all that apply. appearance and reality, attitudes toward women, corruption or parent-child relationships

Appearance and reality

Explanation:

The theme plays an exponential role in the whole play. For instance, the ghost which appears in the apparition from hell is an example of the issue it happens amid reality which is the revelation of hamlet. The spirit then informs hamlet that his father was killed through murder.

However, Hamlet did not believe that and doubted the sincerity of the revelations of the ghost. He then pretends to put the appearance of being made to extract the truth of the statement.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
