Question

in what ways is hamlet a round character? check all that apply. he always does the right thing, regardless of the consequences. he shows a range of emotions over the course of the play. he dies at the end of the play, as all tragic heroes do. like a real person, he has a complicated and nuanced personality. he represents the concept of indecision.

Explanation:

• A round character is complex and multi - faceted. Hamlet shows a range of emotions (e.g., grief, anger, confusion) throughout the play. His personality is complicated with nuances like his internal struggles (e.g., to be or not to be).
• The statement “He always does the right thing, regardless of the consequences” is incorrect as Hamlet is indecisive and his actions are often conflicted.
• “He dies at the end of the play, as all tragic heroes do” is a characteristic of a tragic hero but not specifically what makes a character round.
• “He represents the concept of indecision” is a flat, one - dimensional trait rather than what makes a character round.

Answer:

• He shows a range of emotions over the course of the play.
• Like a real person, he has a complicated and nuanced personality.
