AGENDA Journal Character Chart Act 2 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: appearance vs. reality.

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.

III.iii Claudius Soliloquy:
Wants forgiveness, but doesnt want to give up his crown. Hamlet walks in a sees Claudius praying, so he decides not to kill him. Why? He would go to heaven. He decides to wait until Claudius is sinning. BUT.Claudius prayer wasnt sincere, and therefore, Hamlet could have killed him. My words fly up, my thoughts remain below (III.iii.96) Stichomythia- Quick exchange of dialogue used for dramatic effect.
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? Hamlet Act IV Continued 12-16-13

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.
