Because (grounds), therefore, or so (qualifier)(claim), since (warrant), because, or on account of (backing), unless (reservation).
PII. Hamlet
Themes include: pride, blood vengeance, loyalty, life vs. death, and appearance vs. reality.
Acts II through V will be included on the final exam. Act I finishes off with the conversation between Hamlet and the ghost, while Act II begins with the conversation between Polonnius and Ronaldo.
PIII. Poet Information
It would be a wise idea to know the type or religion of each poet. If you're able to know these facts, then identifying certain quotes that will appear on the final will be a much easier task fro you.
John Donne- Metaphysical poet; Cavalier/Royalist
George Herbert- Metaphysical poet; Royalist (focuses on religion)
Henry Vaughan- Royalist (puts more focus on nature)
Ben Johnson- Heart of the Cavalier Poets (Famous for his Carpe Diem poems)
Robert Herrick- Royalist (similar to Ben Johnson)
John Milton- Puritan (Always focused on religion)
Andrew Marvell- Bounced back and forth from side to side but is considered a Puritan (made a famous Carpe Diem poem that we discussed in class-- To His Coy Mistress)
