Hamlet, At Long Last

Today began with a short review of My Last Duchess and Because I Did Not Stop For Death for the benefit of those who were not in class when we studied those poems, in light of the Victorian Age tests on Thursday (poems) and Friday (history).  A more in depth review PowerPoint can be found on the blog.  Studying is recommended.  We then launched into our long awaited study of Hamlet, which is shaping up to be a very interesting, thought-provoking play.  We were given some background information on the play, which is based on a real-life, historical Hamlet and read Act 1, Scene 1 in class.  The corresponding questions are due on Thursday.
