Description
In this lesson, students reread the scene at Ophelia’s grave (Act 5.1, lines 254–289) in order to analyze how Shakespeare develops the characters through their responses to Ophelia’s death. This lesson follows a lesson in which students completed a close reading of the scene that explored students’ literal understanding of the text and demonstrated how the setting of a scene impacts other dramatic elements. Previous lessons in the unit focused on analysis of central ideas or narrative elements. This lesson integrates both standards for a complex analysis of how character development impacts central ideas.
