Lesson Topic
Hamlet
Lesson Outline
We analyzed ACT II as the dramatization of "seems" . We previously noted the play's exploration of reality vs illusion,.Today Joshuas discussed examples from Act II such as : Hamlet's feigned madness, Hamlet's explanation of his psychological state to his friends, and last the introduction of the actors or the "players." In this mode, we note Hamlet also is an actor or player in his own life. Joshua wrote out a paraphrase of Hamlet's exposition on Mankind and the world which we noted was perhaps insincere as Hamlet is aware that his friends are reporting his actions and speech to the King and Queen. Last, we placed this conflict in a thematic context as Hamlet intends to trap the King by staging a play depicting the King's treachery. The play within the play ,an illusion , nevertheless reveals a truth .
