Answer 2

The theme that is backed by the given passage would be:

A). Forgiveness can be more powerful than the desire  for revenge.

• The 'Theme' or the major idea that the given passage supports and advocates is that 'Forgiveness or tolerance has the power to defeat the inclined wish of seeking revenge.'
• In the given passage, Laertes pardons Hamlet for the act of murdering his father because he came to know that it was Claudius who was behind all this.
• This forgiveness allows Hamlet and Claudius, both to die guilt-free and adds some water to the fuel of revenge lying inside themselves.
• This provides both of them an opportunity to understand and acknowledge each other's mistakes and move ahead with what they have.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
