In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose [Hamlet and show how it] confronts the reader or audience with a scene or scenes of violence. In a well-organized essay, explain how the scene or scenes contribute to the meaning of the [play].

It should be noted that the scene of violence can be seen when Prince Hamlet confronts his own mother about her supposed marriage to his uncle.

When this took place, during the argument, Hamlet was very angry at the action of his mother. He then realized that there was someone that was hidden behind the curtains.

He thought that his uncle was the person behind the curtain and then stabbed the person without knowing that the person was Polonius, the father of the woman Hamlet loves. This Hamlet's act of violence made Ophelia go crazy and eventually died.

Answer and Explanation:

A scene of violence that confronts the reader and the audience in "Hamlet" takes place when Prince Hamlet confronts his own mother about her supposed marriage to his uncle. Amid the argument, Hamlet is very angry at his mother's actions and realizes that there is a spy in her room, hidden behind the curtains. As Hamlet is very angry with his mother and uncle, he believes that his uncle is behind the curtains and without thinking twice stabs the spy, who is not his but Polonius, the father of the woman Hamlet loves. This act of vioencia shows Hamlet's imbalance and shows how thoughtless and violent acts develop a very damaging chain reaction to all involved.

Because of Hamlet's act of violence, Ophelia goes crazy over the death of her father and the behavior of her lover, Hamlet's mother fears him, Hamlet's uncle distrusts him and Hamlet is known as someone insane and untrustworthy.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.
