  1. Aim: How does Hamlet’s encounter with the Ghost prove to be the inciting incident of the play? Do Now: If Hamlet were around today, can you think of the songs that Hamlet would play on his iPod when thinking of the following: King Claudius Queen Gertrude The Ghost NOTE: Exam on Act I and bits of Act II next Tuesday, November 26.

  2. Hamlet’s Mommy Issues • “Seems madam? Nay it is, I know not seems.” • Hamlet seizes on Gertrude’s ‘seems’ and insists that he is genuinely grief-stricken over the death of his father. • “Thrift, thrift, Horatio. The funeral baked meats Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.” • Hamlet bitterly remarks, more than once, that his mother’s marriage to his uncle came in haste – under 2 months, in fact.

  3. Advice & Warning • To where is Laertes headed? • Why do Laertes and Polonius warn Ophelia of Hamlet? • How does Ophelia respond to her brother? What does her response show about Ophelia? • How would you characterize the relationship between Ophelia, her brother, Laertes, and her father, Polonius? • What is lacking in Polonius’ list of advice for Laertes?

  4. “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”- Indeed! • What does the Ghost reveal to Hamlet? • What are the ramifications for Hamlet? What will he pursue now? • Revenge Tragedy – a form of tragic play where the driving force of the plot is revenge
