Today in class we got our quizzes back and reviewed the answers. Some of the questions we discussed were why did Hamlet call Claudius “my mother”? The answer was because it is an insult to Claudius to not be called by his title. Secondly because when two people get married they become one person and therefore Claudius is Hamlet’s mother. Lastly, Hamlet will never call anyone except King Hamlet his father. We also discussed the rest of act 4 scene 5. We talked about Ophelia’s song and how it represented how she has been used and abused by everyone in her life. If anyone has any questions regarding the quiz just ask and I’ll try to help.
