C. to establish Horatio’s steadfast loyalty to Hamlet

Explanation:

In Act II, Horatio is shown as the closest and the most trusted friend of Hamlet who told him all his plans. Horatio takes a solemn vow to maintain the secrecy about the Hamlet's pretense of madness. He even is a party to the conspiracy to prove King Claudius' crime through the enactment of the play The Murder of Gonzago. Shakespeare uses Horatio's reaction about the encounter with pirates to show that Horatio is a die-hard loyal friend.

c. To establish Horatio’s steadfast loyalty to Hamlet.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet" revolves round the avengement of the death of King Hamlet at the hands of his own brother Claudius who has now become the king. The young prince Hamlet's plans of bringing the truth out and avenging his father covers the whole plot.

The character of Horatio was seen as a true and loyal friend of the young prince Hamlet. Even though some of the other friends such as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern shifted their loyalties from Hamlet to Claudius as the plot progresses, Horatio remains loyal to his friend. The letter scene of Act IV scene vi is to show the loyalty of Horatio. He immediately did what he was asked to do by Hamlet. If he had wanted to betray him, he wouldn't have led the sailors to deliver the letters to the king.

no it is not a sin or wrong to be gay. you can be whoever you want just dont hurt anybody or kill anybody. god gave us freewill so we could do whatever we want and be whoever they want to be. all those other people who think gay is bad they are wrong, they can love whoever they want longs they don't hurt or kill each other.

being gay is not a sin or wrong. if you are gay then you have our support and love. cause lets face it, love is love and no bully will ever stop us from being who we are. we are human and we can be different. being different is what makes us humans.

its okay to be gay everyone.

Reread this portion of the excerpted text from common sense. men of passive tempers look somewhat lightly over the offenses of britain, and, still hoping for the best, are apt to call out, come, we shall be friends again for all this. but examine the passions and feelings of mankind. bring the doctrine of reconciliation to the touchstone of nature, and then tell me, whether you can hereafter love, honor, and faithfully serve the power that hath carried fire and sword into your land? if you cannot do all these, then are you only deceiving yourselves, and by your delay bringing ruin upon posterity. your future connection with britain, whom you can neither love nor honor, will be forced and unnatural, and being formed only on the plan of present convenience, will in a little time fall into a relapse more wretched than the first. what key concept about the relationship between an abusive government and its citizens does paine want readers to understand? use evidence from the text to support your response. your response should be one to two complete paragraphs.
