Instruction: Obtain Time Period of William Shakespeare England, 1564-1616 Setting of the HamletDenmark, late middle ages (14th and 15th centuries, or 1300 to 1499) Shakespeare's father was a glove-maker, and Shakespeare received no more than a grammar school education. He married Anne Hathaway in 1582, but left his family behind around 1590 and moved to London, where he became an actor and playwright. He was an immediate success: Shakespeare soon became the most popular playwright of the day as well as a part-owner of the Globe Theater. His theater troupe was adopted by King James as the King's Men in 1603. Shakespeare retired as a rich and prominent man to Stratford-upon-Avon in 1613, and died three years later.

(in addition, see other slide) • A back story is told that explains the nervous night watch and why Denmark is preparing for possible war. • Hamlet is depressed and his state of mind is reflected in and intensified by the language (words/phrases, allusions, metaphors) he uses in his 1st soliloquy (an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play.) • What can you respond to on the Reading Guide? What do you need help with? Outcome/Homework: Read Act 1 and respond to Reading Guide Questions • At the time this play was written, ghosts and hauntings often appeared in literature and in theater productions. Ghosts returned to seek vengeance, reclaim property, or give warning of impending trouble. Shakespeare used ghosts in several of his works. Aside from Hamlet’s father, Shakespeare’s most famous ghosts include that of Julius Caesar in the tragedy Julius Caesar and Banquo in Macbeth. Both of these ghosts return from the dead to haunt the people responsible for their murders. • Thanks, Glencoe Literature Library!
