Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet" tells the revenge story of how a murdered king's son avenged the death of his father at the hands of his own uncle. King Claudius had not only murdered of his brother for the throne, but also took his wife as his own.

The characters of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were the two childhood friends of prince Hamlet. At first, they were loyal to him and acted for him, but in later scenes, we see them shift their loyalty to King Claudius. They began to be employed as spies by Claudius, for when he suspects Hamlet of doing things to hurt him.

In Act III scene iii, we find a disturbed Claudius after seeing the 'performance play' arranged by Hamlet. The obedience of Rosencrantz and Guilderstern in following Claudius' orders to send Hamlet away from him is a reflection of their seeming ignorance about what the real situation is. They are blindly following orders. Through these two characters, Shakespeare develops the theme of ignorance on their part, that things are not always what they seem to be shown.

In the end, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern betrayed Hamlet. So the answer is Things are not always what they seem.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
