Anonymous · Accepted Answer

B) Hamlet’s and Laertes’s accusationsExplanation:Hamlet rants out at his mother when she asks him to stop going against the King (Claudius). In reply, he asks her that why had she betrayed his father and married his father's brother. Gertrude pleads Hamlet to stop speaking such things as she gets shattered on listening to the truth. She very well knows that Claudius has killed the King and had taken his place.

Stefan Daugherty · Answer

answer: hamlet's and laertes's accusations.in hamlet, queen gertrude is mainly a passive character. she married king claudius very shortly after the death of her first husband, king hamlet, brother of claudius. this is very painful for her son, prince hamlet, who believes claudius to be responsible for the death of his father. queen gertrude presents herself as an obedient, pious woman until the accusations from hamlet begin. when accused of participating in the plot to kill her own husband, queen gertrude loses her composure, and subsequent events eventually lead her to anguish and death in the last act.

Mozelle Hand · Answer

What undermines Gertrude’s confidence is the fact that sheis dependent on Claudius.  If she was aconfident woman then she would find out for herself whether or not the rumorwas true that the King was murdered. Hamlet also called her fickle when he said “Frailty is thy name woman.”  Even when Hamlet tells her enough to knowthat there is something wrong Gertrude would still stand by her new husband andthat is what undermines her confidence.
