Description
Students begin reading Hamlet’s first soliloquy in which he laments his situation and mourns for his father. Students continue to focus on the development of Hamlet’s character. They consider the impact of Shakespeare’s choice to introduce Hamlet from two perspectives, first from Claudius’s point of view, then in his own words. After listening to a Masterful Reading of the full soliloquy, students engage in a group discussion of the development of Hamlet’s character at the beginning of the soliloquy.
