Hamlet
1. Review Act IV.
2. Read Act V, sc i.
3. Complete questions.
4. Film adaptation.
Scene i considerations (hints for questions 2-4):
Hamlet ponders the physical aspects of death as he studies Yorick’s skull, graphically describing “those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft.” He wonders whether Alexander the Great’s skull looked and smelled like this one, implying that social class loses any meaning in death. All are returned to dust in the end. This is one example of the numerous ways Hamlet has considered the meaning of life and death throughout the play.While the gravediggers conclude that social class can help a person even in death (Ophelia’s having a Christian burial when she should not), Hamlet concludes that social class becomes meaningless in death, as all who die are subject to decay.
