Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport In mincing with his sword her husband’s limbs, The instant burst of clamour that she made— Unless things mortal move them not at all— Would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven, And passion in the gods.
Answer
A
She is confused by the sight of her murdered husband.
B
She is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband.
C
She is unaffected by the sight of her murdered husband.
D
She is joyful at the sight of her murdered husband.
Explanation
The speaker describes her making a loud cry when she sees Pyrrhus cruelly cutting her husband’s body. The image of making “the burning eyes of heaven” weep shows the depth of her grief. This means she is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband, not unaffected or joyful.
