Hakespeare often makes striking comparisons. Imagine that you were using a comparison to describe King Claudius. Which animal do you think Claudius is most like? A B C D

A deadly Snake

Explanation:

There is an animal imagery in the play HAMLET by Shakespare throughout the play because that is what the playwriter wanted these characters to be seen as; Animals. which means they are immoral and not trustworthy and also blood hungry, just like in the case of king Claudius.

King Claudius can be likened to a deadly Snake because Snake as an animal is usually used to represent evil in many cultures of the world. Claudius is evil because he is envious, greedy, manipulative, values power and material things more than he value others.

Claudius poisons Hamlet father just like a snake poisons its victims. The same way snake swallows their paralyzed victims which makes it's immoral and unethical makes Claudius immoral too because of all the atrocities he committed in the play.

The continual condescension of Claudius towards Hamlet and the murder of his brother Hamlet in cold blood by pouring poison in his ear during sleep reveals how dark and evil King claudius is, just like a deadly snake.

Any of the characters would be correct.
