For the final Hamlet blog, I would like you to write an honest reflection on your personal experience with Hamlet. THis should be at least 4 paragraphs long and you should discuss things like: whether or not you liked the play; how you feel about Shakespeare; what you thought about watching the play in conjunction with reading it in class; what you thought about the particular version we watched in class (was it a good interpretation of the play); the mini-projects after the acts; the blogs; and anything else you would liked to discuss. Please be as honest as possible. You will be graded on the quality of writing your opinions - not your actual opinions. You should post this blog by Friday, March 4th and you should respond to at least 3 others by Monday, March 7th.

Choose one of the following questions to answer in 5 paragraph essay. (I suggest typing the essay in word first to check for spelling and grammatical mistakes.) a. Write an essay on the function of the soliloquies in Hamlet. b. Discuss Hamlet's "antic disposition." Is his madness feigned or real? c. Discuss the role of parents in the play. Your blog should be posted by Friday, April 27th. You should respond to at least 3 other blogs by Monday, April 30th.
