Analyzing Character in Hamlet through Epitaphs
Analyzing Character in Hamlet through Epitaphs
Description:
Students compose epitaphs for characters in Hamlet, paying attention to how their words appeal to the senses, create imagery, suggest mood, and set tone. Using poster board, the students design gravestones that capture the essence of their characters and reflect the themes that support the personality and station in life of the characters they have chosen. The lesson can be easily adapted for other tragedies.
