Gertrude: O Hamlet! speak no more;

Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul;

And there I see such black and grained spots

As will not leave their tinct.

Hamlet: Nay, but to live

In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,

Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love

Over the nasty sty,-

Gertrude: O! speak to me no more;

These words like daggers enter in mine ears;

No more, sweet Hamlet!

The excerpt supports the conclusion that Gertrude

a. ignores what Hamlet says because she thinks he's crazy.

b. can't bear listening to Hamlet because she knows he's right.

c. has difficulty understanding Hamlet because he's yelling so loud.

d. doesn't really pay attention to Hamlet because he's ranting.
