Respond to the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your response:
Discuss your reaction to the character of Hamlet in the two (2) soliloquies from the text.
Consider the extent to which you sympathize with him and / or think he is self-absorbed. Explain the manner in which the literary form of soliloquy shapes your view of Hamlet.
Identify one (1) or two (2) lines (except “To be, or not to be”) that you find interesting or favor, and explain your choice.
Pretend you are a modern leader or celebrity facing personal crisis, such as Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Mandela, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Beyoncé, or some other; write a few lines of soliloquy, thinking aloud in front of the audience. (No need to sound Shakespearean).
