Oral Communication and Listening Unit Objectives: You will be able to...

How well does Hamlet fulfill Aristotle’s’ requirements for a tragedy and/or a tragic hero? What ingredients of a “revenge tragedy” does Hamlet contain? How does the genre provide a sense of morality? Does Hamlet cause his own downfall? Or did a lust for power lead to his demise? What are the causes of Hamlet’s mental deterioration throughout the play? Is he truly “mad”? How might some other course of action (other than Hamlet’s “madness”) give Hamlet the effect he desires? Does the main character deserve what he gets? A famous quote from Shakespeare, “Some by sin do rise, others by virtue fall” might be applied to the play. Does Hamlet fail (and fall) due to his own virtue? Would Hamlet have made a good king? At the close of the play, Fortinbras says, "Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage, / For he was likely, had he been put on, / To have proved most royal" (5.2.4). Fortinbras, who never met Hamlet, characterizes him as a good soldier who would have made a good king. How do minor characters contribute to the play's action and themes?
