INSTRUCTIONS:
Response essay should be approximately 1 ½ pages, double spaced. You must follow MLA conventions for page layout and in-text citation for quotes from the play. Your response should include at least one quote from Hamlet. What emerges for you as the primary conflict addressed in Acts 1 and 2, and where in the 3rd Act does this conflict get fully addressed by Hamlet? Remember that a climax needs to show the protagonist engaged in the conflict, often providing insight (even an epiphany) and often leads to the protagonist making a decision. Note, that critics disagree on this point, so you will be making an argument for how you see it. Once you state clearly what you see as the primary conflict and the climax, address whether or not you see this as a satisfactory address of the conflict. Is it complete or incomplete? Does it possibly introduce additional conflicts that you expect (or know, if you finished reading the play already) to be addressed in Acts 4 and 5? Explain. Your essay must include a works cited and corresponding in-text citation.
