Hamlet and his mum!
Learning Targets: I can determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text.
I can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings.
I can analyze a case in which grasping a point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant. (Note H's sarcasm)

Hamlet forces the

King Claudius, Queen Gertrude’s new husband. Read over
Hamlet’s speech carefully.
Look here, upon this picture, and
on this,
The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. See, what a grace was seated on this brow; Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; An eye like Mars, to threaten and command; A station like the herald Mercury New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill; A combination and a form indeed, Where every god did seem to set his seal, To give the world assurance of a man: This was your husband. Look you now, what follows: Here is your husband; like a mildew'd ear, Blasting his wholesome brother. Have you eyes? Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, And batten on this moor?
Ha! have you eyes?
You cannot call it love; for at your age The hey-day in the blood is tame, it's humble, And waits upon the judgment: and what judgment Would step from this to this?...
What devil was't
That thus hath cozen'd you at hoodman-blind? Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Or but a sickly part of one true sense Could not so mope. O shame! where is thy blush? |
