Homework Assignment
Literal:
1.) For what event did the character Horatio come to Prince Hamlet’s castle?
2.) Who has Prince Hamlet recently been romantically involved with?
Interpretive:
3.) Ophelia’s father, Lord Polonius, accuses her of speaking “like a green girl.” What does he mean and why does he use this simile?
4.) Do you think the Ghost is a force of evil or a force of good? Why? Use quotations to support your theory.
5.) Name one theme you see emerging in this first act of the play, and use two examples in the text to back up your answer.
Applied:
7. It’s Lord Polonius, the king’s advisor, who says the famous line, “To thine own self be true.” He says this while giving his son Laertes a lengthy speech, along other clichés, like “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice” and “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Laertes seems to be amused/annoyed by his father going on and on and on. . . Now that you know the context, what do you think “To thine own self be true,” means?
8. You’re a costume designer for a production of Hamlet. How would you costume the Ghost?
