Intro+to+Hamlet

Shakespeare’s //Hamlet// is celebrated as one of the greatest literary works ever written because it gives great insight into the heart and soul of humanity; we are shown who we are, what we do and think, and what we are made of.

Well that’s all well and good – but if we don’t have our own thoughts and considerations about human experience, then we won’t be able to recognize how the play connects or speaks to our humanity. Here are a few questions to make you think about some of the truths of human experience that show up in //Hamlet//.

By clicking on the discussion tab above, you will have access to all nine questions. **FOR FIVE OF THE NINE** questions, you must respond with at least a paragraph. Remember, even though you are allowed to use “I,” rules for developing a paragraph still apply. Feel free to incorporate your own beliefs, experiences, and opinions. After you have created and posted a paragraph response for five of the nine questions, you are responsible for responding to **three** of your peers. I would encourage you to respond to students whose opinion differs from yours to offer you a fresh perspective on life and to cause you to reflect on why you believe the things you believe.

It would probably be best to type your responses in a Word Document, and then copy and paste into the discussion.
