Charting the Crazy

As you know, you have been assigned an exciting mini-project that allows you the opportunity to track and plot Hamlet’s level of insanity through the play.

Notice the antic disposition ———->

This project is due on Thursday… so don’t procrastinate on this one!

Here’s the document again: Sanity Scale

Alas, poor Yorick!

We are drawing near the end of the play. Your assignment is to read Act 5, scenes 1 and 2 (there are only two scenes in act 5) and complete a log entry for EACH scene. That’s a total of TWO log entries (each log entry  – as you know – has three parts) due tomorrow.

Bring the log entries in tomorrow, and be prepared to discuss the content of the final act (and the play as a whole).

And now… to read, or not to read?

There’s no question… 🙂
