Read the passage from Act V of Hamlet.

Laertes: Must there no more be done?

First Priest: No more be done:
We should profane the service of the dead,
To sing a requiem, and such rest to her
As to peace-parted souls.


Sagot :

The text illustrates how everyone is subject to death, but family ties endure even the worst of circumstances.

  • We are expected to understand the author's major point when asked to identify the topic of a piece. Even after the widow had passed away, her brother Laertes still gave her love and devotion.
  • He thinks violets will emerge from his sister's grave, as is evident from this text. She is also described as fair and clean by him. This demonstrates how much he still cared for his sister after she passed away.
  • The tragedy of the play is revealed in Act 5, as Hamlet accepts Laertes' challenge and is poisoned in the course of the conflict. Also passing away are Laertes, Claudius, and Gertrude. At the conclusion of the play, Horatio is the only major character still living, and Hamlet commands him to "tell my narrative" as he passes away.

Thus the correct option is A.

A ministering angel shall my sister be,

When thou liest howling.
