  1. The First Fifteen • After reviewing your formative assessments, I have a few suggestions for you before you begin: • Make sure you have the details correct • Title vs. name (Hamlet vs. Hamlet) • Fully develop your ideas • A list of observations will only score a 1 • Don’t try to compare apples to rhinoceroses • Keep your points of comparison equal • Please don’t puke your thoughts all over the paper • Organize them before you start writing • Avoid personal opinion (likes and dislikes) • Don’t mix up the different interpretations • Don’t just summarize the original text; analyze the interpretations and how they represent the original text

  2. RL.07 Summative Assessment Ophelia Not this time!

  3. Put Your Thinking Cap on and Get Ready to WorkAvoid the “primrose path of dalliance” (1.3.54) 4—Analyzes multiple interpretations; evaluates how and why 3—Analyzes multiple interpretations; evaluates how 2—Compares multiple interpretations; minimal evaluation 1—Compares irrelevant points; lacks evaluation • You’ll need the following items out on your desk: • Pen(cil) • Paper—probably 2 sheets to be safe • Copy of Hamlet RL.07. Analyze multiple interpretations, evaluating how each version interprets the source text.

  4. Ophelia in the Hot Seat • Scene interpretation analysis vs. character interpretation analysis • Pull from prior knowledge • What is Ophelia’s role in the play? • What is her background? • Close reading of text: • Act 4.5.1-78 • Act 4.5.178-224 • Act 4.7.187-212 Note it!

  5. Tempting, but doesn’t help. Close Reading • Close reading means paying close attention to what the text says • Here are some things to think about as you complete the close reading on Ophelia • What internal and external forces have shaped her? • What are Ophelia’s needs and wants? Her objectives? (These rise from her needs and wants) • Look at her behavior (what she does) • Look at what she says • What events and items surround her? How do these impact or indicate her character or situation? • What allusions are included in these sections?

  6. You will use at least three sources for your analysis: • The original text • Two interpretations • Instructions: • Choose a minimum of two interpretations • Study the interpretations • Take notes on how each interprets the original text • Review your notes (close reading and interpretation) • Organize your thoughts • Write your analysis • At least 2 paragraphs • MLA format • Double check your work for clarity and correctness What?! You really want me to follow the instructions? When did being cute stop being enough?

  11. “Ophelia”—a poem—by Arthur Rimbaud

  12. “Ophelia”—a song—by Natalie Merchant

  13. “Ophelia” by Natalie Merchant Ophelia was a bride of godA novice CarmeliteIn sister cells the cloister bellsTolled on her wedding night Ophelia was a rebel girlA blue stocking suffragetteWho remedied societyBetween her cigarettes Ophelia was a sweetheartTo the nation over nightCurvaceous thighsVivacious eyesLove was at first sight... Ophelia was a demigoddessIn pre war BabylonSo statuesque a silhouetteIn black satin evening gowns Ophelia was the mistress to aVegas gambling manSignora Ophelia MaraschinaMafia courtesan Ophelia was a circus queenThe female cannonballProjected through five flaming hoopsTo wild and shocked applause... Ophelia was a tempest, cycloneA god damned hurricaneYour common senseYour best defenseLay wasted and in vain Ophelia'd know your every woeAnd pain you'd ever hadShe'd sympathizeAnd dry your eyesAnd help you to forget... Ophelia's mind went wanderingYou'd wonder where she'd goneThrough secret doorsDown corridorsShe'd wander them aloneAll alone...
