- Only homework was for People who wanted to rewrite their essay which is due 11/8.
Fishbowl for Hamlet Act II
- Some things discussed in the inner circle:
- morals vs religion, (revenging) family vs religion: both conflicts occurring in Hamlet
- If the ghost is fictional, how it represents Hamlet's inner want (for revenge and to have a purpose to live)
- How Hamlet and Fortinbras are foils
- How Hamlet, Fortinbras, and Laertes are 3 different versions of sons and show 3 different types of relationships between father and sons
- Though women characters are weak/conniving in Hamlet, showing Shakespeare's disdain for the female sex, he doesn't convey men as any better what with all of the scheming, murdering, and spying in the castle
- Women: people of action psychologically
- Men: people of action physically
- Betrayal: Rozencratz and Gildenstern spying and how this hurt Hamlet, how Hamlet feels alone and trapped with no one to trust
- Power: is it the only way to get things done?
- internal vs external power
