      Hamlet Classroom Questions - Amy Farrell

      Act One, Scene One

      Points to Consider

      •   Students will understand and follow this scene best if you prepare them by explaining what is about to happen. This lets them follow the storyline more easily and prepares them for the apparition of the Ghost of Old Hamlet.

      •   This scene introduces Horatio as a learned and respected character.

      •   We are given the background to the political situation in Denmark and the threat of Norway.

      Questions

      1.What is going on as the play begins?

      4.What reason does Horatio give for this strict and most observant watch? (line 71)

      5.What do the men decide to do as the scene ends?

      Act One, Scene Two

      Points to Consider

      •   Students tend to find the marriage of Gertrude and Claudius to be quite sensational and scandalous, particularly considering how recently King Hamlet has died.

      •   Claudius appears as a competent monarch in this scene, handling matters of state with confidence. He is particularly gracious to Laertes, Polonius’ son, something worth pointing out to students, so they are aware of the relationship between the new King
