Cassidy’s comments from the Ms. A's Advanced English Book Discussions group.

So the question remains, do you think Lion King can be considered an adaptation of Hamlet? Using your notes, use 5 specific examples (only two can be characters) on why you believe Lion King is, or is not, an adaptation of Hamlet. (should be 2-3 paragraphs)

You must also respond to at least one of your classmate's responses

How do you think you did? What is one thing you did well on. Explain why that was. What was a challenge for you in this assignment? Why? Do you think it would be difficult for people in Shakespeare’s time to perform these plays? What about people who perform Shakespeare’s plays today? Does it make you think any differently about the play now that you have had to do this?

Respond to this post AND respond to at least ONE person

Which version of the soliloquy best represents the meaning and tone of the soliloquy and the message Hamlet was trying to get across? Why?

Did William Shakespeare really write the works he is attributed to? What is your opinion? Why does it matter?
