Claudius, in his prayer, says that he "cannot" be forgiven for his "foul murder" because he cannot give up the things for which he murdered. Which of the following is not one of these things?
the throne
the wealth
the queen
the power

Respuesta :

The option which is not one of the things he cannot give up is the queen.
He doesn't really need Gertrude anymore - all he ever wanted was the throne, the wealth, and the power that killing Hamlet's father allowed him to have. He never cared for the queen - marrying her was just a way for him to achieve his goals.
