Mr. D Does Homework Too

1. pp. 10-12 summary

Impending war with?

Blank and Blank have the same names.

*Hamlet has suddenly gotten more confusing.

Denmark (ruler?)

vs.

Country? (Fortinbras)

Marcellus wants to know the 411 about why everyone in Denmark is buzzin around ready to go to war. Horatio talks about some old enemies and about how supernatural events are harbingers of bad events. Marcellus, Horatio, and Bernardo think that the ghost is just a harbinger of the upcoming war with Norway. How wrong they are. Ghost enters.

2. inverted syntax

"A mote it [the ghost] is to trouble the mind's eye" (Shakespeare 12). (object/verb/subject)

Modern English would follow the pattern of "It is a mote...." (subject/verb/object)

from Apple dictionary

mote |mōt|nouna tiny piece of a substance : the tiniest mote of dust.PHRASESa mote in someone's eye a fault in a person that is less serious than one in someone else who is being critical. [ORIGIN: with biblical allusion to Matt. 7:3.]ORIGIN Old English mot, related to Dutch mot ‘dust, sawdust.’

Blah, blah, blah.

Mr. D. is out.
