Read the passage from Act V of Hamlet . Hamlet: To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, till he find it stopping a bung-hole? Horatio: ’Twere to consider too curiously, to consider so. One purpose of Horatio’s line is to further the development of which theme?
Answer
A
It is important to question everything.
B
Be cautious of anyone who questions you.
C
Too much questioning is dangerous.
D
You can never ask too many questions.
Explanation
Horatio says it would be “too curiously” to keep tracing Alexander’s remains to such a lowly use. His response suggests that thinking or questioning too deeply can become excessive rather than useful. This supports the theme that too much questioning is dangerous, not that people should question everything without limit.
