Students further develop close reading skills as they examine Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The tragedy of Hamlet develops many central ideas, including revenge, mortality, madness, and the tension between action and inaction. Students analyze the play through the close study of Hamlet’s soliloquies and other key scenes to determine how Shakespeare’s language and choices about how to structure the play impact character development and central ideas. The showing of a filmed version of the play in select lessons supplements students’ understanding of plot and background points and encourages them to consider actors’ interpretations of the text.
