  1. Hamlet Act Three The Famous Act

  2. Act 3.1: Does Claudius Suspect? • In line 2, Claudius says Hamlet “puts on” his mad act. • Make a T-chart. • Label one side “EVIDENCE FOR INSANITY” and the other side “EVIDENCE FOR SANITY”

  3. Act 3.1: The Famous Soliloquy • In groups, go line by line through Hamlet’s famous soliloquy. • What is he really debating? • We’ll review as a class.

  4. Act 3.1: Ophelia’s Dream Man • In 3.1.145-8, Ophelia describes her dream man. • Revisit these lines. • What qualities does she list? • Does Hamlet come close to showing any of these qualities?

  5. Act 3.2: Another Soliloquy • By now, we know that Hamlet is all about “words, words, words!” • Look at the second soliloquy of this act. (3.2.49-77) • What is he talking about now?

  6. Act 3.2: The Play is the Thing… • The play is often seen as a turning point for Hamlet. • Write a summary of what goes down during this “play.” • How are each of the following characters acting? • Hamlet • Gertrude • Claudius • Polonius • Ophelia • Will Hamlet finally act now that he has his confirmation? • What emotion is Hamlet feeling over Claudius’ reaction?

  7. Act 3.2: Spitting Daggers • “I will speak daggers to her, but use none.” (3.2.357) • Though he will not physically harm his mother, he will read her the riot act. • Create a list of items that Hamlet is likely to accuse Gertrude of.

  8. Act 3.3: Now It’s Claudius’ Turn… • Go line by line through Claudius’ soliloquy. • What is he saying? Go line by line. • What image runs through this speech? • Can you find moments of hope in his speech? • Review the end of the scene. • Why does Hamlet not seize this opportunity?

  9. Act 3.4: Old Gertie’s Room • What is an Oedipus complex? • Does Hamlet have one? • Find ideas in the play to support the idea of Hamlet having an Oedipus complex. • Why does Hamlet act on Polonius, but not Claudius? • Did Hamlet think it was Claudius? Why or why not?

  10. Act 3.4: Old Gertie’s Room • Hamlet lists 8 consequences of Gertie’s actions. • Visit lines 3.4.40-51. • What are these consequences? • Why does the Ghost of Old Hams suddenly appear? Suggest several reasons. • Does Gertie see him? If she does, then why does she say, “Alas he’s mad!” (105)

  11. Act 3.4: Is Hamlet God’s Agent? • Traditional revengers do not see themselves as agents for good, but for a kind of rough justice in the world. • Look at lines 174-6. Hamlet appears not so much to blame heaven for the death of Polonius, as to see himself as God’s agent—but also as a being punished for the act of murder. • Is that how you see him? • To what extent can Hamlet be viewed as a force for good in the play?

  12. Act 3.4: Cruel to be Kind • Yet another one of W. Shakes’ famous lines that we use in modern day. • “I must be cruel only to be kind.” • Is this true? • What are some modern day examples when you’ve used this expression?
