discussion HW: Act III Scenes 1-2 Learning Target: I can identify
and annotate a soliloquy. Soliloquy The most famousShakespeare
soliloquies(and indeed, the most famous soliloquys in the English
language!) are found in three of Shakespeares plays Hamlet ,
Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet. For example, perhaps the best known
opening line to a Shakespeare soliloquy isto be or not to be, from
Hamlet A soliloquy is a word taken from Latin and it means talking
by oneself. Its a device that dramatists and Shakespeare to great
effect used to allow a character to communicate his or her thoughts
directly to the audience. The character may be surrounded by other
characters but the convention is that they cant hear the soliloquy
because it is essentially a piece in which the character is
thinking rather than actually speaking to anyone II.i How does
Polonius confuse appearance with reality?
Believes Hamlet is madly in love with Ophelia, when hes really just
mad about the situation. What is Polonius reasoning for Ophelia to
not be with Hamlet? He is too far above her to care about her
properly. II.ii Who comes to visit? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
(childhood friends from Wittenberg) What does Claudius asks of
them? To find out whats bugging their too much changed son.
Voltimand and Cornelius return with news from Fortinbras. King of
Norway was upset that his son tried to start a war, and made him
promise not to do so. Instead, he will use the army his son
assembled to attack the poles if they are allowed safe passage
through Denmark . Hamlet ACT II Journal: Write about the topic:

Claudius and Gertrude? What is his plan to test it? He tells them
that Hamlet is in love with Ophelia and produces love letters to
prove it. He will hide behind a curtain, while Hamlet and Ophelia
talk to test his theory. Why are Hamlets responses so odd? Polonius
believes Hamlet is crazy, and Hamlet plays along with the old man
by disguising insults about his age. Hamlets 2nd Soliloquy Hamlet
calls R & G out on lying about coming to see him. Hamlet hears
that a players troupe is coming to town to perform a play. He asks
one of the players to do a speech from The Fall of Troy, and is in

knew. Which leads to his soliloquy---lets annotate! Hamlet ACT III

perform a play. He asks one of the players to do a speech from The

emotional about someone he never knew. Which leads to his
soliloquy---lets annotate! Foil A character that is used to
highlight (either positive or negative) the traits of another
character. Act III. i Rosencrantz and Guildenstern tell Gertrude
and Claudius that they havent figured out whats bugging him, but
that he was excited about the play. Gertrude and Claudius say they
will go tonight. Polonius and Claudius hide behind a curtain to spy
on Ophelia and Hamlet, before Ophelia is there Hamlet gives his
most famous soliloquy. To be or not to bethat is the question III.i
Get the to a nunnery--- Ophelia has confronted Hamlet about his
advances, and he denies it. He says he loved her once, and never at
all. (A little confusing for this girl) Hamlet goes on to criticize
women, and then denounces them in general for painting their faces
to look more beautiful and their overall dishonesty. He storms out,
and Ophelia believes he has truly gone mad. Claudius and Polonius
agree that he is not mad over Ophelia, and think sending him to
England is the answer. Once again, Polonius will spy on Hamlet as
Gertrude tries to figure out whats wrong. ACT III.ii Play getting
ready to start.
Hamlet asks Horatio to watch Claudius carefully. Players act out
the murder silently at first, and then with voice. When the poison
enters the ear, Claudius yells out for light and calls it off---
guilty are we?? Hamlet goes to his mothers chamber to speak to her,
but tells himself to be honest, but calm. Groups 4th: Group 1:

Why? He would go to heaven. He decides to wait until Claudius is

(III.iii.96) Stichomythia- Quick exchange of dialogue used for

QUEEN: Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended. HAMLET: Mother,
you have my father much offended. QUEEN: Come, come, you answer
with an idle tongue. HAMLET: Go, go, you question with a wicked
tongue. Definition: Tragic Flaw
Tragic Flaw- The problem that causes a characters downfall.
Aristotle stated: the flaw or error in judgment that causes a heros
suffering is hamartia, a Greek word meaning fault. As we continue
reading, try to identify the tragic flaws of Hamlet, Claudius, etc.
IV.i Gertrude has a choice to make: Does she believe Hamlet and
defend her son? OR does she think hes crazy and defend her husband?
Gertrude tells Claudius about Hamlet killing Polonius Claudius
decides they must send him to England quickly and cover up what hes
done. IV.ii Hamlet disposes of Polonius, but refuses to state where
he is.
The body is with the king, but the king is not with the body
(IV.ii.2526) Accuses R & G of being spies for the king, and
accuses them of being sponges (soaking up the kings will) R & G
finally convince Hamlet to go to Claudius IV.iii Hamlet finally
tells Claudius where the body isunder the stairs. He has R & G
escort Hamlet to England with a letter. Whats in the letter? Orders
to put Hamlet to death! IV. iv MeanwhileFortinbras asks for
permission to travel through Denmark in order to attack Poland.
Encounters Hamlet and R & G. Hamlet is again upset with himself
for his lack of action when he sees an entire army fighting over a
little piece of land. From now on O, from this time forth, my
thoughts be bloody, or be nothing IV.v Ophelia has gone mad, and
sings songs around the castle. Laertes shows up with a mob
demanding revenge for his fathers death. Claudius tries to calm him
down. Laertes sees Ophelia mad and it makes him even angrier. He
agrees to listen to Claudius side of the story. Ophelias Song:
OPHELIASings. How should I your true love know From another one? By
his cockle hat and staff, And his sandal shoon. QUEEN GERTRUDEAlas,
sweet lady, what imports this song? OPHELIASay you? nay, pray you,
mark. Sings. He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone;30 At
his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone. QUEEN
GERTRUDENay, but, Ophelia,-- OPHELIAPray you, mark. Sings. White
his shroud as the mountain snow,-- IV.vi Horatio gets a letter from
Hamlet who states: his ship was captured by pirates and he has been
returned to Denmark. Horatio takes the sailors to the king and
queen as Hamlet asked him to. They apparently have messages for
them. IV.vii The letter tells Claudius Hamlet is returning
tomorrow.
He uses his rhetorical abilities to convince Laertes to seek
revenge upon Hamlet through a sword match. The twist? Laertes sword
will be sharp and poisoned. Gertrude enters to state that Ophelia
has drowned herself in the river. V.i Two gravediggers are digging
Ophelias grave.
What is significant about the gravediggers discussion? They discuss
whether she should be properly buried because it looks like a
suicide. V.I Continued Hamlet and Horatio return and see the
gravediggers.
Hamlet sees the skulls that have been tossed out to make room for
new bodies. He asks the gravediggers who they are burying and they
give him a roundabout answer that was a woman sir; but, rest her
soul, shes dead (V.i.146) Hamlet then picks up a skull and is told
it was Yoricks skull. What does Hamlet come to realize after seeing
this skull? That all men, even great men become dust one day.
Again, Hamlet is faced with the knowledge of death. Ophelias
Funeral V.i Continued
Hamlet sees the funeral procession, and still does not know who it
is yet until she is laid in the earth. Laertes becomes upset with
the Priest. Why? Because he does not want to give her a proper
christian burial if she killed herself. Laertes jumps in the grave
to hold Ophelia one last time, and Hamlet jumps in as well
confessing his true love for her. What do Hamlets actions say about
him? He might have truly loved Ophelia? He might truly feel badly
about killing her father? Facing death may have sent him overboard?

annotations, posit-its, highlighters, etc. It is not a can I go to
Mrs. Medley? day, so come prepared to work. All Hamlet quizzes must
be made up next Monday-Wednesday during the film. V.ii Hamlet
reveals to Horatio that he switched the letters, and R & G have
been executed, AND he thinks they got what they deserved. Hamlet
also reveals that he feels badly for what he did to Laertes. Osric,
a jester enters to tell Hamlet of the sword match. Hamlet agrees,
saying that one must be ready for death. Why is Hamlet so fearless?
The Fight Hamlet starts by asking Laertes for forgiveness. What
does this say about Hamlets character? What has changed about him?
Bildungsroman- has Hamlet come of age? Has he learned anything from
this experience? What is your evidence. It is the poisond cup: it
is too late (V.ii.235)
The match begins. Hamlet strikes Laertes, but refuses to drink from
the celebratory wine glass. Hamlet hits Laertes again, but this
time Gertrude drinks from the glass. Laertes starts feeling badly,
but still hits Hamlet with the poisoned sword. Next, the scuffling
causes them to lose swords and Hamlet strikes Laertes with his own
poisoned sword. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? I am justly killd with my own
treachery (V.ii.318).
Gertrude falls. Calls out to Hamlet and dies. How does her
realization of betrayal change our opinion of her? Or does it?
Laertes realizes that hes dying and spills the beanscalls Claudius
out on everything. Hamlet forces Claudius to drink his own poison.
He dies. Hamlet asks for Laertes forgiveness one more time, and he
absolves him. He can now die. Exchange forgiveness with me, noble
Hamlet. Mine and my fathers death come not upon thee, nor thine on
me. V.ii Tell My Story Hamlet to Horatio:If you ever loved me, then
please postpone the sweet relief of death awhile, and stay in this
harsh world long enough to tell my story Hamlet asks Horatio not to
take his own life, but to live on to tell his story. He hears
Fortinbras coming and says that he should be king. Hamlet dies The
END Fortinbras: Let four captains carry Hamlet like a soldier onto
the stage. He would have been a great king if he had had the chance
to prove himself. Military music and military rites will speak for
his heroic qualities. Pick up the corpses. A sight like this suits
a battlefield, but here at court it shows that much went wrong. Go
outside and tell the soldiers to fire their guns in honor of
Hamlet. What is significant about Hamlet being treated like a
soldier? He will not be remembered for his madness, but now his
true story of revenge will live on. He is now a martyr. Hamlet
