Question

which question is most likely to be asked by a reader studying a text with a feminist perspective?
why was a story about an unhappy prince important in shakespeare’s time?
which character has more power: gertrude or claudius?
why was a story about royal heirs important in shakespeare’s time?
which character has more power: hamlet or claudius?

Explanation:

A feminist perspective focuses on gender - related power dynamics. The question comparing the power of Gertrude (a female character) and Claudius (a male character) is concerned with gender - based power differences, which is a key aspect of feminist analysis. The other questions either focus on the importance of stories about princes/royal heirs (not related to gender power dynamics) or compare the power of two male characters (Hamlet and Claudius), so they do not align with a feminist perspective.

Answer:

B. Which character has more power: Gertrude or Claudius?
