Day 11 HAMLET

Do Now: Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy is arguably the most-quoted speech from any of Shakespeare's plays. But does that mean that it's the best understood? What do you (or did you once) think the speech is about?

Today's Learning Target:
I will be able to  make a claim about how the two soliloquies in act III, scene i further develop the conflicts of Hamlet and Ophelia.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can compare and contrast Hamlet's and Ophelia's soliloquies.
-I can explain how the soliloquies reveal internal conflicts a character is facing.

Agenda: 

1. Soliloquies in III.i
2. The Nunnery Scene
3. Comparing adaptations
4. Exit Ticket: What do you think is preventing Hamlet from acting?

HW: Begin searching for a fourth secondary source.
