Be sure to submit your Hamlet paragraph plus the draft. It was due Thurs. April 13.
Tonight: Read Act 3, Scene 4: The bedroom scene. Be sure to take careful notes.
How does Gertrude react to Hamlet's news? How is he changed by her reactions?
How does he react to killing Polonius at the time and at the end of the scene.
How does this scene connect to other scenes in the play?
Which soliloquies are most connected to this scene? Why?
This scene is considered the climax. Explain.
The act ends with Hamlet, our noble, insane prince carrying the body of an innocent man off the stage.
Look back at how acts 1 and 2 end. What connections can you make?
Tomorrow, we'll watch film versions of this scene to compare interpretations but be sure to have made your own notes before you arrive. I'll be checking your notes.
