Today, you wrote your Act II quiz for Hamlet. We then went on to reading Act III. We finished reading to the end of page 79. The Player King has just reminded his wife that they have been married for thirty years (Act 3, Scene 2).
I reminded the class that they need to have their independent novels here for Thursday and Friday as I have to get them to do a reflection activity (you have had your novels for more than a month now; I need to check in and see how you are doing).
If you were not here, you need to do the following questions. Be sure to label them as "Questions for Act III Scenes 1 and 2":
1. Why does Ophelia agree to engage in a conversation with Hamlet?
2. Why might Hamlet be suspicious of Ophelia being in the lobby?
3. After Hamlet leaves her, why is Ophelia embarrassed (be detailed)?
4. What was the end result of this encounter (what is the plan for Hamlet)?
5. Who has Hamlet told about what the ghost said?
6. How is Hamlet going to monitor the King's reactions to the extra lines inserted in the play?
7. What is Hamlet doing to Ophelia that is unexpected after their last encounter?
8. If you were Ophelia, how would this encounter make you feel?
