Hamlet

Shakespeare's Hamlet does take some effort to understand.

We read plays and novels because we observe human behaviour in these works.

In the HSC you are are asked to comment on the behaviour of the CHARACTERS in the texts you have studied.

You enter the world of the text. When a character keeps doing something....then that is a THEME because the writer has decided to highlight that action.

When faced with the problem of bringing the murderer of his father to justice, how does Hamlet act? What are his thoughts? Was he successful? If not, why not?
