...Activity 4...
1. What is a tragedy? What themes and
outcomes would you expect to find in a
tragedy?
A tragedy is something horrible
that happens when you least
expect it. the theme would be the
lesson of the wrong path.
2. What do you know about the language
in plays written by Shakespeare?
Shakespearean language is quite
difficult to understand. It seems as
if he created his own language. As
long as you reread the play line by
line you'll be able to comprehend it.
3. What have you done in the past to help
yourself read Shakespeare effectively?
We went over it in class during the
seminar and each student
participated and mentioned how
they interpreted the play. Last year
we had someone come in class
and explain what Shakespeare was
trying to say in one of his plays. We
also had to rewrite Hamlet a few
weeks ago with a partner
interpreting each line in our own
vocabulary.
4. The soliloquy here begins with a
famous quotation: "To be, or not to be--that is the question." What do you think
is "the question" Hamlets asking? How
do you think he might answer it?
The question he is asking is
whether to be someone or not or
maybe if he should do something
or not. He's asking himself the
same question we all ask ourselves
before doing something except
he's doing it in a more clever way.
