Students received the Hamlet monologue assignment. They began selecting a monologue (See separate blog post for details.).
Much Madness is divinest Sense
-
To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense - the starkest
Madness -
’Tis the Majority
In this, as all, prevail
-
Assent - and you are sane
-
Demur - you’re straightway
dangerous -
And handled with a Chain
-
We continued our discussion of Hamlet's "to be or not to be" speech. We considered the following poem by Emily Dickinson, in light of Hamlet's madness.
Much Madness is divinest Sense

To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense - the starkest
Madness -
’Tis the Majority
In this, as all, prevail
-
Assent - and you are sane
-
Demur - you’re straightway
dangerous -
And handled with a Chain

We also continued reading the play together, through the start of Act III, scene 2.
