Today we started by reviewing scenes i-iii of Act IV. Essentially, Claudius is sending Hamlet to England, supposedly to protect him after Polonius's death, but really, he wants Hamlet to be killed in England. We did scene iv in class where we run into young Fortinbras. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. Hamlet has a good speech at the end of this scene. We did most of scene v in class. In this scene we find that poor Ophelia has gone mad, (really insane, not like Hamlet) and that Laertes has returned from France to find out about his father's death.
Homework:
Finish scene v and do the questions.
