As we have discussed in class, Hamlet's attitude towards himself and the issue of mortality seems to evolve over the course of the play. With every new soliloquy (there are four major ones), he seems to change his thinking on what it means to live and die.
Your prompt: consider Hamlet's opinion on mortality over the course of this play. How does his perception of death change throughout the play and provide specific explanations for why that opinion changes. If you'd like to extend your learning, consider how Hamlet's discussion of mortality has influenced you or how you see the world. Use evidence from the play to support your response.
Option 2: Is there anyone in this play with a heart? It has been argued that there are only two actually noble people in this play. For your prompt, please identify who you believe to be a noble character in this play and provide specific reasons why. Justify your response. To extend your learning, discuss the role of nobility in character in the modern world. Are there actually noble people in our world, or are we all just selfish beasts looking out for ourselves?
