  1. Homework for Tuesday Read Act V, Hamlet. Participation paragraph on Sakai. Work on Close Reading.

  2. Quick Write Why do you think that the opening scene, in particular, and much of the first act spend so much time on a ghost? What is the dramatic effect of this choice? What do you think the ghost symbolizes or sets the stage for thematically?

  3. Protestant Reformation Reformation Martin Luther John Calvin Lollards Evangelicals Iconoclasm Predestination Election Scripture Sacramentalism Grace Eucharist/Transubstantiation Indulgences Purgatory

  4. Purgatory, A Case Study Late Middle Ages: “Despite tenuous scriptural foundations, the doctrine of purgatory had emerged strongly over the course of the Middle Ages to meet the common-sense perception that the majority of people were insufficiently saintly to expect immediate admission to heaven, and insufficiently wicked to deserve eternal damnation in hell.” “Henry VIII officially doubts it in the Ten Articles of 1536, and the King’s Book of 1543.” Mary Tudor brought purgatory back. Elizabeth I: The Thirty-Nine Articles in 1563 “denounced purgatory and the mass as ‘repugnant to the Word of God.’” Edward VI’s Act of 1547 “denounced purgatory and confiscated the lands of the chantries”

  5. Some Epistemolgical Questions Occasioned By The Reformation • Many people still believed in purgatory and ghosts as spirits of the dead coming back to receive prayers from living—so what happens to this belief? • How do we distinguish predestination or biblical prophets from false prophecy, magic, witchcraft? • What is the difference between miracles and magic?
