This soliloquy confounds the scholars. Annotate it and arrive to class tomorrow with your best explanation for why Hamlet does not kill Claudius and what the purpose of this scene is in Act 3. It will make some more sense once you read the next scene, called "The Bedroom Scene" since it takes place in his mother's bedroom.
If you were absent today, this soliloquy is on page 60.
Keep reading and annotating your novels for the essay next Wed. after school.
I will return the multiple choice test tomorrow.
