Engaging Language


Description

In this lesson, students begin to explore Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy. Students focus on how Shakespeare’s word choice impacts the meaning of the passage, with attention to his use of beautiful and engaging language to examine one of the central concerns of literature and the human experience. Students are assessed on their ability to discuss how Shakespeare’s language portrays Hamlet’s tone towards life and the contrast he sets up between life and death.
