Make sure you get all the notes from our discussion of Act 1, Scene 3. Also, this Friday, we will be doing a practice Hamlet section from the final exam. See notes on yesterday's blog.
We read and made notes on Scene 4.
Homework: Read Scene 5 and make notes on the following questions. Make sure that you have quotations from the text to support your answers.
1. What do you learn about the ghost's life in purgatory?
2. How did Hamlet Sr. die?
3. What does the ghost think about Gertrude's marriage to Claudius?
4. Read Hamlet's second soliloquy (93-111). What is he going to give up in order to devote himself to revenge? What are the implications of this idea? Copy down at least three key quotations from this passage.
5. How does Hamlet seem after his encounter with the ghost? How do Horatio and Marcellus react to him?
6. The last three lines of this scene seem to contradict Hamlet's soliloquy, why?
