Hamlet, Journal #3—Act 2 scene 2, lines 487-544

This is Hamlet’s second soliloquy during the play.  Read it over several times and complete the assignment as follows:

1. Write up a summary (in your own words!) of what Hamlet talks about/reveals during this soliloquy.
2. Start identifying patterns and other techniques in this soliloquy.  Make a list of them (and I recommend you jot down the line number(s) where you found them).
3. BONUS:  Start discussing the effects of the techniques you find.

Write up your response to turn in.  Due Monday, February 24.
