  1. Aim: What significance does the graveyard scene hold for Hamlet’s final intentions? Do Now: What do you think it means that Hamlet was born on the day King Hamlet defeated King Fortinbras?

  2. “… the hand of little employment hath the daintier sense.” • What does this line mean? • Does Hamlet apply to this statement or should we give Hamlet more credit? What do you think?

  3. Yorick’s Skull • Who was Yorick? • To whom does Hamlet compare Yorick? • What existential conclusion does Hamlet confirm, yet again? • Why is his conclusion this time perhaps more real? • How does Yorick’s skull become a symbol in this play?

  4. In other words…

  5. [Leaps in the grave] • “Forty thousand brothers / Could not with all their quantity of love / Make up my sum.” • From where is this proclamation of love coming? • How does Hamlet have the audacity to claim that he loved Ophelia more than forty thousand brothers ever could?
