Explanation: in the given excerpt from "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, we can see a conversation between Hamlet and Gertrude in which he accuses her for her sins, and because she knows that what Hamlet is saying is true, and she feels guilty ("Thou turn’st mine eyes into my very soul; And there I see such black and grained spots") she can't bear listening to him (" O! speak to me no more; These words like daggers enter in mine ears; No more, sweet Hamlet!").
