WOS

HW: Please study for your final exam this Friday.

Today in class we finished Hamlet and discussed the ending. Most of you seem to like the play, and were surprised by the ending. I mean, we all expected Hamlet to "fall" but the multiple deaths at the end was unexpected by most. It almost works like the end of a fireworks show- everything all at once...

After, I challenged you to take a specific scene, and attempt to make a comedy sketch out of it. As always, so impressive work.

Mystery Science 3000 makes fun of a real bad German version of the play on Friday after your final.

The last 15 minutes, we discussed the complexity of the character of Hamlet. You worked on small bits of dialogue and discovered what is revealed about Hamlet in each.
