Blog Prompt 11/19

In Act I, Scene 2, Lines 76-86, Shakespeare introduces a primary motif in Hamlet, the idea of "seeming". Consider how many of the characters -- Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius, Polonius, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern -- are all engaged in pretense, acting out parts. Confine your discussion to Acts I & II, especially Act II. When possible refer to specific lines so others can follow your train of thought.

Nice work on the readings in class today - be prepared to read dramatically when you come in...not only does it help us to understand the action, it's way more fun.

Best,
