What essential human truths can you take away from Hamlet? Through the writing of your essay, I hope you have considered how the Bard's influence on society could be so prominent, even 400 years after his death. Share your thoughts on the validity of Hamlet's themes, morals, and messages.
Look back through your multiple choice practice for the AP exam and post some literary terms and concepts you are unfamiliar with or which you could use more practice with. After break, we will focus on whatever you all post, so please comment and give us a comprehensive list. The AP exam is less than two months away!
Now is the time to get talking about Hamlet and The Lion King. What connections did you notice between the play and the film? What obvious differences are there, and for what reasons did Disney alter the plot, characters, themes, and etc.? Share thoughts you had as you watched and things you never noticed before reading Hamlet. Use this conversation to help inform your essay response.
