Elizabethan Drama: The Tragedy of Hamlet — Test

Question 24 • Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet . Bernardo: ’Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed , Francisco. Francisco: For this relief much thanks; ’tis bitter cold, Which is the best adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt?

Answer
A
go to sleep
B
go get warm
C
allow me to be alone
D
allow me to rest

Explanation

“Get thee to bed” is an older way of telling someone to go to bed, which means to go to sleep. Bernardo is relieving Francisco from his watch, and Francisco thanks him before mentioning the bitter cold. “Go to sleep” is the best adaptation; “allow me to rest” does not directly convey the instruction to go to bed.
