Hello.
Could you please help me to answer these questions, I really appreciate your help.
1-When Marcellus, Barnardo, Francisco, and Horatio discuss the state of politics and the recent historical events in their country, they are giving us (A) comic relief (B) a limited omniscient point of view (C) background information for understanding the plot (D) hamartia.
2-. In Shakespeare's plays, the figurative language and imagery used by a main character often serve as clues to help the audience understand the character and the theme of the play itself.

I think the correct answer is A.
3-What do Ophelia in Hamlet and Carol in Oleanna share? (A) they complicate the plot of each play (B) they provide an omniscient point of view (C) the main male characters are both desperately in love with them (D) they both commit suicide.

(C) " O Cithaeron,why did you give me shelter?"
