Pantomime what isn't seen in 2.1.84-134.
Groups of three...
One student will read the lines while the other students mime the prescribed actions, including adjustments to clothing.
What is Hamlet up to in this scene?
Why is he treating Ophelia this way?
Does he love Ophelia?
If so, what possible reasons could he have for acting this way towards her?
What about Ophelia - does she love Hamlet? What is her reaction to his behavior? Try to pinpoint her emotions.
Remember, Hamlet wears the guise of madness so that no one suspects him of trying to plot his revenge to avenge his father's murder.
HW: This weekend, read 2.2.1-403 (pp and do reading log # 5)
