Hamlet 1.2 - Write responses like these between your scene logs.

Literary Terms

Examine Claudius' Speech (the order of his address, the rhetorical devices - antithesis, equivocation, diction, juxtaposition) and interactions ll.1 - 120; What does the manner of his language reveal about his character?

Examine lines 66 - 95. How does this interaction between Hamlet and Claudius reveal the innermost thoughts (subtext) of each. In other words, what does each really want? How does each really feel? What does Gertrude want? How do you know? Support your answers with text support.

Consider Claudius' use of the Royal "WE" with Hamlet in these responses. What do the shifts in tone signify about the Mind of Claudius?
