Class: Wednesday/Thursday (April 29th/30th) PLUS READING SCHEDULE, PLUS FINALS

For Hamlet acts 1-2. 
  • Pick 3 questions from each of the following schools of literary theory: Formalism, Marxism, Archetypal, Feminism, Psychoanalytic. 
  • Apply each of these questions to the first 2 acts of Hamlet. Put your findings in your notes. Leave some space for following acts. 
  • Once you are done with this... and only after you have completed the questions... start reading Acts 3-5. You should have a much more comprehensive view of the play as you move forward. Still apply these question as you read.. add to your notes. You will be able to balance the bigger picture of the play once stopping after act 2 and building a strong literary foundation to move forward.
  • Have a good start on this for class.. you do not need to be completely finished for class. We will work on SOME together... But have this started.
