Description
In this lesson, students read and analyze lines 1–55 from Act 1.3 of Hamlet, Laertes’s farewell monologue to Ophelia and a brief conversation between Ophelia and Laertes. Students engage in a discussion about the meaning of these lines and how Shakespeare develops the characters of Laertes and Ophelia. This selection also provides an opportunity for students to engage with concepts such as gender roles, family duty, and chastity—concepts that arise again in Unit 3 in relation to Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own.
