Answer:

Ophelia is not a strong character. She acquiesces to everyone; her brother, her father, and to Hamlet. But the inner workings of her mind are unexplained. The fact is that we don't know why Ophelia goes mad; we can only speculate. But madness was a common element in the revenge tragedy, and Shakespeare's audience would have expected somebody to go truly mad at some point. Just as a ghost would have been a necessary ingredient to the story.

Hamlet's rage at Ophelia is more easily explained. Many performance have staged the scene that Hamlet becomes incensed because he realizes that somebody is eavesdropping, and it's obvious that Ophelia knows. On the other hand, Hamlet's reaction seems a little extreme. Perhaps he's not as sane as he says!

vladimir2022 [97]
<span>Which poets address it in terms of the times they live in (and its threat of fascism) and which address it in a more personal way?
</span>
Answer: First we should know that both of these poet's had a bad experience in their lives, suffering similarly under tyranny and oppression during World War II, which shaped their perspective in very different ways. Milosz is the one that took it very personally and considered his life as emotionally destroyed while Szymborska looked at it as another chance at life that might never be given again. It is clear that the poet that addresses death in terms of the times they live in and as a threat of fascism is Milosz. This is apparent in the poem “City Without A Name”.

I hope this helps, Regards.

Which of the following best describes Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, and Frank Norris's impact on journalism? They were among the
True [87]

Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell and Frank Norris were amont the first journalists to publicize immoral, corrupt practices of large industries during the Progressive Era.

Upton Sinclair was an American writer who won the Pulitzer Prize. In 1904, Fred Warren, editor of the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason, commissioned him a report on the bad practices of the food industry that would become the novel The Jungle, an unprecedented sales success and a huge international commotion.  As a consequence, President Theodore Roosevelt received the author in the White House and put in place laws to ensure the quality of food for human consumption.

Ida Tarbell was an American professor, writer and journalist, considered one of the main "muckrakers" of the Progressive Era.  She is known for her research on John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; her investigations exposed the unfair monopolistic practices carried out by the company until the Supreme Court decided to dissolve the monopoly.

Frank Norris was an American correspondent and novelist. Between 1895 and 1896, he worked as a correspondent in South Africa. Between 1896 and 1897, he was assistant editor of the San Francisco Wave. During the Spanish-American War, Norris was a correspondent in Cuba for McClure's magazine, being critical of American interventionist policies in the war.
