We are well into Hamlet, now. You should be through Act 1 and should be able to answer questions on the study guide. We went over some terms in class-- blank verse, iambic pentameter, aside, soliloquy, foil, etc. These will likely show up on a mid-term or final, so be sure you know them.
HW: Read Act 2 for tomorrow. We'll work on the study guide together in class.
Finally, for you enjoyment, Blake sent me this picture. Remember our talk about Shakespeare's family and his son named Hamnet? Ha! http://ifunny.mobi/i6340001#5380251
