Ophelia

Ophelia did fall off a tree and drown in the river. then there was ideas that it was suicide instead of an accident.

-mike singh

I was reviewing Hamlet and just have a little blurred memory of Ophelia's death. I know she drowned in a river but why did she go in the river in the first place? Was this were she fell off a tree?
Thoughts?

Linking Paradise Lost and Hamlet

While studying today I realized a good way to link a piece of Paradise Lost and Hamlet. You can relate the appearance versus reality theme that is very heavy in Hamlet and connect it to how when reading Paradise Lost your perspective of Satan is as a hero. We almost wanted Satan to "win." This is created by a false sense of accomplishment when Satan rises from the fiery lake. He appears to be a hero, but in reality he is the king of evil.

A Good Way to Study for the Poetry section of the final

I thought of a great way to study the poetry unit in preparation for the final on Monday. I made a notecard for each author and wrote on the back of it a brief biography that highlighted the key points that we will have to know for the test. Then I made a card for each poem that that poet wrote and wrote a brief summary and the vocab definitions on the flip side. A good way to get material to use in the summary is to look at the quiz questions, because Laz said that most of the questions would come off of the quizes. It may seem hard and time consuming but you will learn some of the material while you are writing it on the cards, and once you have them made up it will make studying much more organized and time efficient.
