Extra Credit Hamlet Quiz - Worth 10 points

The quiz will focus will consist of 5 multiple-choice questions about the play, and fill-in responses based on Hamlet’s soliloquy in 3.1 (“To be or not to be”). As it is an extra-credit quiz designed to provide you with additional points toward your final grade, NO MAKE-UPS will be allowed. Please be on time to try to earn extra points. By now, you should have completed your reading of Hamlet. We will watch the last 20 minutes of the film AFTER the quiz is completed and close our discussion of this play.

Reading Macbeth:
Please read Acts I and II of the play. We will be discussing these two acts as soon as the quiz has ended. Questions for discussion: How does Shakespeare set the mood of the play? How do you view Macbeth at the beginning of the play, and how does he change as the action continues? What are your thoughts on Lady Macbeth, thus far (by the end of Act II)? We will be viewing Acts I and II on Wednesday, 11/12.
