Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
Prince Hamlet’s first soliloquy begins: “O, that this too too sullied flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew”; in other words, Hamlet wishes that he could disappear, evaporate, cease to exists. Of all the reasons why he is considering “self-slaughter,” which one of these reason is primary—which do you find to be the most disturbing or the most compelling? More than anything else, what is tormenting Prince Hamlet? Write a paragraph of at least 200 words as a response to this question; quote from the soliloquy. Post your response; post a comment/reply of at least 50 words to someone else’s response. Note: if you have chosen to read Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth, then this post may analyze any character, scene, or action from Act 1 of your chosen play.
