Finish reading Act 2, Scene 2. Create a found poem on the character, Hamlet, using words and phrases found in this scene. Your poem will reveal your interpretation of Hamlet at this point in the play. If you prefer, you may opt to write a paragraph response instead of a poem. This scene has a number of characters discussing Hamlet--Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, Ophelia, plus his love letters, plus his 3rd soliloquy so it is rich in imagery and character development. YOU MUST ARRIVE WITH YOUR POEM. NO LATES ACCEPTED. THE POEM WILL INDICATE TO ME THAT YOU HAVE READ AND CONTEMPLATED THIS SCENE. BRING QUESTIONS, THEORIES, IDEAS TO CLASS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
Pay particular attention to two speeches by Hamlet
His soliloquy and the short passage lines 297-313 (This passage is often on the provincial exam so study it thoroughly and be prepared to discuss it on Monday).
Also, the soliloquy, how does the comparison that Hamlet makes between himself and an actor compliment the appearance vs reality theme? Come prepared to discuss.... If you didn't speak up much last week, don't delay. 5 marks per day for contributing to group and class discussions.
