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.

hecuba is a figure in greek mythology who was married to king priam. in the excerpt, she is shown grieving for her dead husband.

what does this allusion suggest?

that hecuba was too emotional when she saw her husband’s dead body
that hecuba was determined to take revenge for the death of priam
that hecuba properly mourned the death of her beloved husband
that hecuba did not show enough emotion after priam was killed

Although the other person who answered had the correct description, he gave the wrong answer. The answer is that Hecuba properly mourned her husband, because he is criticizing his mom for not properly mourning.

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.  

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )
