For your final Hamlet blog post, include the following:- Explain whether or not you think Hamlet went insane at any point during the play (or was insane throughout). If you believe he did not go crazy, how DID he change throughout the play?
- Regardless of your answer, also offer your opinion as to what connection Hamlet's transformation has to another theme of the play (see below).
- Include a quote from Hamlet that sums up his transformation, in your opinion. (Include Act.Scene.Line in parentheses.)
- Use one of the Hamlet vocab words below either in your blog post (bold it please) or in one of your 3 comments after you publish your post. You may post a comment here using one of the words in a sentence that shows me you understand its meaning.
