Homework for Thursday

• Be sure to read Act I, scene i and Act I, scene ii
• Concentrate your attention on Claudius in scene ii (who is this guy?, what is his character?, what are his motivations?) and on determining what we can discern about Hamlet (with particular attention to his soliloquy)
• If you are interested, Amazon has a 2.99 download of the full Branagh version of Hamlet. It's fabulous and if you watch and read the closed captioning, you have an excellent method of reading and understanding the play at your disposal.
