“Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it is much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.” - Dolores Huerta

Hamlet Notes ~ Act I Scene IV

  • Claudius celebrates his coronation ~ festivities make the royal family look "swinish" and irresponsible
  • "Shall in the general censure take corruption
    From that particular fault: the dram of eale
    Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
    To his own scandal.
  • Claudius adds to suspicion with the above, should still be grieving the loss of the king
  • Ghost arrives > Hamlet recognizes his father
  • Image: A crypt opening and releasing his father
  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE FATHER?
  • Ghost beckons Hamlet & he wants to follow, Horatio thinking the ghost is a threat will not allow it
  • "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
