Objective:  I can read Act V; scene II through the psychoanalytical or archetypal lens and consider the motives of the Queen.
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  How have the female characters influenced the play?
• Listen Act V, scene II (23:25 min.)
  • Before reading:  Does Hamlet know Ophelia is dead when scene I begins?  What does he say when he finds out she is? What is the deal with Yorick?  What does Claudius continue to perpetuate about Hamlet?
• After reading:  Read "Gertrude Talks Back" by Margaret Atwood. Complete "Gertrude Talks Back Activity" with a small group which contains both lenses.  If time, begin Socratic Seminar entry ticket for Meaning of the Work as a Whole.
