Even if you aren't teaching Shakespeare, it is a very interesting site to peruse. A lot of us were able to go to a conference earlier this month about arts and literacy, and one of the presentations was about the different ways and levels of studying a piece of art, beit a painting, poem, or play. I found this painting of Hamlet titled Hamlet: Triple Portrait, The Scholar, Slayer, and Fool.
We are beginning Act V this Thursday, and my seniors will write a journal response exploring why Tompkins would have portrayed him as having these three particular facets.
I love Hamlet but will be glad to move on to The Kiterunner, mostly because my husband can bear The Kiterunner, but not Shakespeare. I get pretty wrapped up in Hamlet; it's my favorite of the Bard, and I also love Kenneth Branagh's adaptation. Kudos to Brandon for being a good sport and watching it with me, even if I did translate the whole time. :-)
