Today, we continued reading Act I of Hamlet. We finished reading scene 2 and scene 3. We read scene 4 up to the point in which the ghost has finished telling Hamlet what happened to him (how he died) and what Hamlet must not do in relation to his mother (page 31, line 91). Keep in mind that there will be a quiz after every Act (so there will be one tomorrow).
If you were not here, you need to answer the following questions. These need to be handed in on the day you return.
1. Using everyday language, state the advice that Polonius gives to his son.
2. What does Laertes tell Ophelia to do in relation to Hamlet? Why might Laertes be giving her this advice?
3. What does Polonius tell Ophelia to do in relation to Hamlet? Why might Polonius be giving her this advice?
4. How realistic is Ophelia's final response to her father about what he is demanding of her? What choices does she have if this was happening in a household today?
5. What do the people of Denmark believe when it comes to King Hamlet's death?
6. What does the ghost say happened to King Hamlet?
7. What does the ghost want Hamlet to do to Claudius?
8. What does the ghost want Hamlet to do to Gertrude?
