En 12: Monday, 2 May

Today, we read Act 4, Scenes 1-4.  We discussed Claudius' reaction to the news that Hamlet has killed Polonius.  We also get comedic relief as Hamlet is slow to reveal where P's body is.  Scene 4 gives us Fortinbras as a foil to Hamlet.  Remember the motivation for Hamlet's change of heart is the realization that Fortinbras is really fighting for honour, since the land he seeks is an "egg shell."
