Question

how are shakespeares characters examples of elizabethan drama? select two answers. □ they are variations on familiar biblical figures. □ they grow and change throughout the play. □ they display a wide range of human emotion. □ they represent a single allegorical concept. □ they express their reverence for christian saints.

Explanation:

• In Elizabethan drama, characters were complex. They grew and changed (like Hamlet's journey of indecision and then action) and displayed a wide range of human emotions (e.g., Macbeth's ambition - guilt - paranoia). They were not just simple variations of Biblical figures (Shakespeare's characters are more original in their fictional contexts in many cases), not single - allegorical concepts (which was more of a medieval morality play trait), and while there might be some religious elements, expressing reverence for Christian saints was not a defining characteristic of how his characters fit Elizabethan drama.

Answer:

B. They grow and change throughout the play; C. They display a wide range of human emotion.
