  4. NOTES Get out your notes and let’s continue our preparation for reading Hamlet.

  5. NOTES B. Literary terms and techniques: 1. soliloquy a. example: “To be or not to be; that is the question…” (Hamlet) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCBVmiVkzTM 2. aside= a. example: The movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off uses the aside quite often. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNa8QyAl2YE

  6. NOTES 2. pun= a a. Example “son/sun”: If a mother were to write a poem and say “you are my son who brings light to my life”, she could also mean “sun”, thus helping the readers to understand how the speaker views his/her “son”—as the center and the light of her world. b. Example: “Brake/break” One advertisement on the back of British busses reads “thanks for the brake” (which can also be read as “break” from walking or driving.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRBMPvOk_oU&feature=related

  7. NOTES 3. figurative language= a. metaphor= i. example: “You are my sunshine”

  8. NOTES 4. allusions= a. example: “My friend and I had a fight; now I’m waiting for a dove to bring good news that the waters are calm.” b.example: “Many men view her as the Helen of Troy of our times.” c. example: “My best friend turned into Lucifer when she stole my boyfriend from me.”

  9. NOTES 5. imagery= a. example: “I looked up/ Toward the crest and saw its shoulders already/ Mantled in rays of that bright planet...” (Dante’s Inferno, Canto 1)

  10. NOTES 6. character a. tragic hero i. Oedipus the King b. static character= i. example: Virgil in Dante’s Inferno ii. example: Donkey in Shrek c. dynamic character= i. example: Dante in Dante’s Inferno ii. example: Fiona in Shrek

  11. NOTES 7. conflict= the main problem that exists for the main character(s) in a work of literature a. Man v. Man i. example: In Ramayana, Rama is upset with Ravanabecause Ravana kidnapped his wife. b. man v. self: i. example: After hearing several times that he must not be unreasonable, Oedipus from Oedipus the King started questioning whether it was right for him to banish Tiresias.

  12. HAMLET PARTS Now, let’s pick parts for Hamlet!!! *I will volunteer to play the part of Hamlet, but I’d like others to help read aloud as well.  Before picking parts, be aware of the following: If everyone willingly participates in reading Hamlet with enthusiasm and drama, we may skip reading the last act and instead watch the movie. 

  13. HOMEWORK Make sure you have read and taken notes on the “Shakespeare’s Life” handout and take notes (2-3 bullet points) on each paragraph.
