“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 V Scene I

Scene I:
  • "to act, to do, to perform"
  • clowns - dig so many graves that they are accustomed to it and can make jokes about it and death
  • "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow/ of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy:"
  • Laertes > says Ophelia will go to Heaven, while Priest is condemned to Hell (Priest was not allowing Ophelia to be buried on holy ground because of her assumed suicide)
  • Hamlet (watching from afar) is shocked to see that the grave is for Ophelia (who he actually DID love) > jumps into the grave along with Laertes and begin to fight
