Perception of Character Analyses in a scene

FOR LOGS AND DUE FRIDAY 2/26

Character Analysis - from chart
1. Hamlet and Gertrude Act 3 scene 4 (I modeled this in a few classes). (By the end we learn one thing that immediately focuses our attention on a dramatic change in Gertrude at the beginning of Act 4 that should help guide your Log character analysis).

Here's a video that will guide you through #2 Hamlet Act 4 Scene 5 Character Analysis
 

2. Ophelia in Act 4 scene 5 (with Claudius, Gertrude, and Laertes). Remember, it's entirely possible to have characters in a scene (even in a passage) all talking about a different subject without knowing it (like Hamlet and Gertrude). So pay attention to what you think Ophelia is talking about and what the others are talking about with her (or about her). What might even this say about Ophelia's situation? (From this you should be able to write about her evolution as a character for the Log)

3. Follow Laertes development from 1.2, 1.3, 2.1 (indirect), 3.1, and 4.5 - 4.7 who is he really? How does he change or evolve? What do you learn? Most importantly, what's your opinion? (This will probably help complete your analysis of him for the log as well.)

4. Vocabulary quiz - Reader/speaker perception of character list.
