Question

In Scene 2, lines 368-371, Hamlet compares Claudius to a company of boy actors who have chased the adult actors from the city. What does Claudius have in common with the boy actors

Answer 1

Answer:

What Claudio has in common with the boy actors that he was once hated and is now praised.

Explanation:

The boy actors were hated for chasing adult actors, but there came a point in life when the boy actors became adults and took on another behavior, receiving the most diverse accolades. Interestingly, people did not admire Claudius, but now they pay dearly to have a miniature portrait of him, as if he were a good ruler. These people are praising Claudius, forgetting what he looked like.
