They are both represented as weak. Ophelia goes crazy and kills herself, and hamlets mother is almost wicked for helping her lover, the kings brother kill the king. the women are either crazy and weak or evil. this contributes to how shakespear writes women as not being multidimensional characters an only adding to problems. it shows guys as the superior gender.

Answer:

Gender roles were pretty common in Shakespeare's time, and these appeared in his plays. Women were often thought of as the weaker sex, who were required to abide by social expectations. In Hamlet, the two female characters are Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother, and Ophelia, Hamlet’s lover. Hamlet despises his mother for marrying too quickly and believes she committed adultery. The situation Gertrude is placed in shows that men thought of women as frail. Similarly, Ophelia goes ‘mad’ over Hamlet and Hamlet berates her and sees her as disgraceful.

Answer:

"What we call a triangle was really as round as the globe."

Explanation:

This is the quote that best supports the author's claim and purpose. The author wants us to know that the Triangle Trade was not really a triangle. Instead, it was a complex net of connections that spanned the whole world. During this century, almost every region of the world was engaged in trade in some way or another, including the Philippines, Latin America, India, France, England, the Netherlands, Spain, North America and Africa. Therefore, this trade was not triangular, but instead was as round as the globe.

<h2><u>PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST!</u></h2>

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

A - Lawrence Kohlberg interviewed a group of young men about moral decision making.

D - Preconventional reasoning is based on following one’s moral principles, but Postconventional reasoning is based on doing what is best for oneself.

D - “Once a person begins to think in a Stage 5 way about what benefits the community as a whole, they will almost never go back to a Stage 2 level of looking out for themselves first.” ( Paragraph 16)

B - Kohlberg could understand how people decided what was the right thing to do.

Write a summary of the article “How do we tell right from wrong?”  

--> Sorry friend, you're going to have to write the summary yourself.

I hope this helps! I was not fully sure if the answer was C or D for the third question, but I put D because preconventional reasoning is external (if that makes sense). Have a good night!
