First of all, tonight's schedule will be as follows. Tonight, we start Hamlet. We will first be looking at a little bit of background of the play and its characters as well as delving in deep behind some of the bigger meanings of the play. We will be looking at the differences between the Great Chain of Being, the Medieval Cosmos, and Existentialism. All has its place with Hamlet, but try not to feel too overwhelmed. Then, we'll be looking closely at the opening line of the play - "Who's There?" It has far more meaning than its initial connotation. Then, we will be studying Act I of the play.
Scroll down to find a couple of the handouts plus a little bit of Hamlet & Shakespeare fun.
Looking forward to seeing all of you tonight -- we have a lot we need to do, so please come prepared to learn.
