Excerpt A (Wole Soyinka, *Death and the King's Horseman*): "The drumbeat echoed, and the chorus sang the ancient lament, reminding the audience of the king's duty to the ancestors." Excerpt B (William Shakespeare, *Hamlet*): "To be, or not to be: that is the question—." Both excerpts employ a dramatic device to foreground the central theme. Identify the device used in each excerpt, compare how effectively each play integrates the device into the development of its theme, and state which play achieves a more cohesive integration.

Answer Options

A. Excerpt A uses a chorus, excerpt B uses a soliloquy; both plays integrate their devices equally well, so neither play achieves a more cohesive integration.

C. Excerpt A uses a chorus, excerpt B uses a soliloquy; the soliloquy in *Hamlet* is more cohesively integrated with its theme of existential doubt, so that play achieves the more effective integration.
Correct Answer D. Excerpt A uses a chorus, excerpt B uses a soliloquy; the chorus in *Death and the King's Horseman* is more cohesively integrated with its theme of communal duty, so that play achieves the more effective integration.
