Question

read the passage from act v of hamlet.
laertes: he is justly servd;
it is a poison temperd by himself.
exchange forgiveness with me, noble hamlet:
mine and my fathers death come not upon thee,
nor thine on me! dies.
hamlet: heaven make thee free of it! i follow thee,
i am dead, horatio. wretched queen, adieu!
which is the best explanation of how two of the themes
from hamlet interact in the passage?
the passage shows that granting forgiveness is a
futile act, and revenge is a powerful ally.
the passage shows that you should be wary of too
much curiosity because someone might take
revenge.
the passage shows that since everyone dies in the
end anyway, revenge is a reasonable alternative.
the passage shows that revenge is destructive,
particularly when you are unable to discern the truth.

Explanation:

In the passage, Laertes and Hamlet are involved in a tragic situation due to revenge. Laertes was poisoned (a result of the revenge - driven plot). Hamlet also meets his end. This shows that revenge leads to destruction. Laertes was unable to fully discern the truth (he was manipulated by Claudius in his quest for revenge against Hamlet for his father's death).

Answer:

The passage shows that revenge is destructive, particularly when you are unable to discern the truth.
