Today, we read up tot he end of Act I, scene 4 of Hamlet. I then asked you to answer the following questions:
1. In the role of court psychologist, write a brief report on Hamlet’s character. You have been present at the court session and have also overheard Hamlet’s soliloquy. This will be an assessment of Hamlet’s state of mind and its causes.
2. Jot down what Polonius is actually advising Laertes to do or not do while he is off at university. Do this in the language of today.
3. Observe the relationships in the Polonius family and make notes on your observations. Consider the relative position of men and women in the family, parent-child roles, and the hierarchy of authority
