Hamlet (Shakespeare) Complete Advanced Activity Bundle

This is a collection of handouts, worksheets etc. for William Shakepeare's iconic play 'Hamlet'. Having taught it quite often, by now, I have put together a great selection of advanced worksheets, activities, with a particular focus on catering to high schools teaching the play. The worksheets and handouts are of an advanced enough level to be taught at university, too.

The unit covers the following topics and issues central to the play:

1. Introduction to the Play & Pre-Reading Activities
2. Act 1, Scene 1: Setting & Foreshadowing
3. Act 1 Scene 2: Analysing Claudius
4. Act 1, Scenes 2-3: Feminist Criticism
5. Act 1, Scenes 4-5: The Ghost & The State of Denmark
6. Act 2, Scenes 1-2: Polonius, the Fools
7. Act 2: Analysing Hamlet's Madness
8. Act 3, Scene 1: "To Be, Or Not to Be"
9. Act 3: The Hero's Journey
10. Act 4, Scenes 1-4: Revenge
11. Act 4, Scenes 5-7: Ophelia's Agency and Madness
12. Act 5: Psychoanlysis and Freudian Theory
13. Act 5, Scene 1: Yorick and the Gravediggers
14. Act 5, Scene 2: The Tragedy of Hamlet

Happy teaching!
