To Be or Not To Be

Today we tackled Hamlet's most well-known monologue and one of the most famous passages in all of Shakespeare's works, "To be or not to be..."  As none of us felt qualified to read this monologue, we listened  to a couple readings of it instead.  It is a very profound passage and it provoked a very interesting discussion surrounding suicide, depression, etc, in particular from a Biblical perspective.  We also talked about how Hamlet is proving to be more and more indecisive and governed by fear.  We finished Act 1 Scene 1 together and started Scene 2.  The Scene 2 questions are due on Tuesday, you do not need to do the Scene 1 questions.  Have a good weekend!
