We finished Act 5, Scenes 1 and 2 today. The board was filled with terrific notes so make sure to get a copy if you were absent. Hamlet test is Friday. Mid-term exam is next Thursday.
We go to the play next Wed. Busy weeks ahead. You definitely do not want to miss class.
Thursday: Bring your Lit texts. We'll be making notes on the political and cultural influences on 18th century literature. Make notes on pages 327-347. Be able to characterize the Restoration and the 18th century.
Compare it in your mind to the Renaissance era, the 17th century, and the Anglo-Saxon era. What differences are there? What similarities? Why?
Next week we'll read "To the Ladies", The Rape of the Lock, and A Modest Proposal.
You'll see a lot of differences in tone, structure and themes!
