Read the excerpt from Hamlet, Act I, Scene ii.[Hamlet:] Must I remember? why, she would hang on him, As if increase of appetite had grown By what it fed on; and yet, within a month, Let me not think on ’t: Frailty, thy name is woman!A little month; or ere those shoes were old With which she follow’d my poor father’s body, Like Niobe, all tears; why she, even she,— O God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason, Would have mourn’d longer,—married with mine uncle,My father’s brother, but no more like my father Than I to Hercules . . .
Hamlet is upset that his mother remarried his uncle less than a month after his father died. He says her affection had increased the more it was returned, but that she quickly abandoned it, calling this “frailty.” This suggests she is fickle, meaning changeable or unsteady in her feelings, so the answer is B, “fickle.”
