Answer:

The correct answer is In contrast to Gertrude, Hecuba is the ideal image of a grieving widow.

Explanation:

Shakespeare alludes to Hecuba in this scene since in contrast to Gertrude Hecuba is the ideal image of a grieving widow.

As we know, Hamlet did not want her mother to marry Claudius since he had murdered his father. That is why Gertrude does not appear to be the typical widow who mourns his dead husband, but quickly remarries.

Instead Hecuba, Priam's wife is a great example of a grieving widow.
