Hamlet Discussion 11-01-12

Hamlet discussion-audio of discussion

Felicitas Ruiz, Mattew Patel, and Valerie Gonzalez

Questions:
1) Was telling the actors to act out the play, Murder of Gonzago, and Hamlet's entire plan the best way to carry out his revenge?
2) Did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deserve to die?
3) How has Hamlet changed throughout the story?
4) What was Fortinbra's character's purpose?
5) Do you think it was smart for Claudius to want to kill Hamlet? 


Main Ideas of Hamlet:
1) Value of family and friends is absent
2) Evil-doers get their come-uppance
3) There is always collateral damage
4) Death is alive in ghost. Skull foreshadows imminent deaths
5) Societal pressures for a prince
