Hamlet Unit Itinerary
We will spend the next two weeks on Hamlet (except for Xingu Fridays!). You will need to bring your copy of the play to class everyday. Wednesday 4/7 will be a reading day. You should be through Act II by Wednesday and finished with the play by Monday 4/12.
Assignments over the play are as follows:
For Wednesday 4/7 –
Read Act I, Scenes I and II of Hamlet and post responses to the following questions. These will be recorded as homework grades...15 pts. each if you do them reasonable well, 0 if you have not posted by the beginning of class Wednesday.
1. What portents appear in Act I Scene I? What does Horatio think these signs mean? What portents appeared in Moby-Dick? Do you think Shakespeare influneced Melville in this regard? Why or why not?
2. In his soliloquy, Hamlet uses the image of an unweeded garden. What is Hamlet comparing to a garden? What are the weeds? Who is responsible for tending the garden? If Hamlet were the chief gardener, how do you think he would go about restoring the garden?
Tuesday 4/13 –
