This Thursday we'll be presenting our Hamlet scenes 2:15-4:30 in the theater.

Hamlet Outside of Denmark, Beyond Time

By Monday I'd like you to read/watch each of these links and write a blog response incorporating at least one picture, and identifying five vocabulary words of your choosing (to be matched with images):

Freud on Hamlet

T.S Eliot on Hamlet

Documentary about directing Hamlet

As usual there are some big names, famous figures, the V.I.P of the history of ideas, so please use your tertiary sources like wiki and google to fulfill any curiosity you may have about these people. Do not however mistake this as an invitation to read summaries rather than the original. These are dense texts, but you need the practice. Not everything in life is BBM and Doctor Seuss.
