Which is the best example of an objective summary of the theme "truth is hard to discern” that is further developed in Act V of Hamlet ?
Answer
A
At the funeral for Ophelia, Laertes and Hamlet’s combative behavior is really embarrassing. This scene helps to further develop the theme “some people can’t handle the truth.”
B
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.”
C
By brawling at Ophelia’s grave, Hamlet and Laertes show they should both be locked up. This scene helps to further develop the theme “sometimes it’s hard to see the truth.”
D
It’s totally unreasonable that Hamlet and Laertes start yelling about the truth at Ophelia’s funeral. This scene helps to further develop the theme “some people can’t see the truth.”
