A little background information
Where William Shakespeare set the play:
. Elsinore, Denmark: in and around the royal palace. The story of Hamlet is set in the late middle ages (14th and 15th centuries, or 1300 to 1499) in and around (mostly) the royal palace in Elsinore, a city in Denmark.
However: This is a universal plot line, so directors have transposed the setting to various historical and place times.
Elsinore Castle
Today's learning objectives: I can analyze the impact of the author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (e.g., where a story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters are introduced and developed).
Essential question: From what you have observed of the setting, how do you think this will impact plot development in Hamlet?
Coming up: vocabulary quiz Hamlet 1 on Wednesday. If you are absent, please see me to make up the quiz. The district policy is 10 days for legal absences.
