Today:
We started off class looking at the art of a break-up letter. I asked you each to write a one page break up letter from Hamlet to Ophelia, or from Ophelia to Hamlet. I asked you to use words and phrases that we discussed on the Shakespeare insult list.
We then had one person sit on the stool, while 3 people circle them reading each of the sentences of their letter.
We acted out the Mouse Trap play in act 3, focusing in on how the King and Queen would have looked on stage reacting to the play.
We looked at the ample stage direction, which is unusual.
We discussed if this scene proves or disproves Hamlets madness.
HW: Please finish act III. Please expect a quiz.
