HAMLET Essay
Write a literary analysis essay of Shakespeare’s Hamlet that is at least 700 words long, using quotations to authenticate and support your ideas and evidence.
Ideas
- Use the 3 steps to write a thesis from your own idea or from an AP exam prompt.
- Show the progress of each step as in the example on the handout.
- Blend a universal truth into your proposed idea about the play.
- Expect to change and improve it as you find evidence.
Quotations
1. Blend direct quotes into your sentences, which explain the quote. No quote should stand alone.
Instead of this: “To be or not to be” (1.2.34) Hamlet wants to die.
Write this: Hamlet considers suicide as he wonders whether it’s better “to be or not to be” (1.2.34).
2. Follow the guidelines for quoting Shakespeare on the Hamlet prompt handout.
3. Avoid long quotes unless every word of it is relevant and supports your argument.
4. Indirect quotes should also be documented. If you comment on someone’s action, give the act and scene either in your sentence or in parentheticals at the end. Use the outline of acts and scenes and your copy of the play to find your convincing evidence! Write with play in hand.
Organization
Organize your paper according to the 5 ¶ essay guidelines. That includes:
- a hook and complete thesis in the introduction ¶, followed by
- topic sentences explicitly related to the main idea and
- supported with at least 2 pieces of evidence
- in at least 2 body ¶s, and
- ending with a restatement of the complete thesis in different words followed by
- a concluding comment related to the hook or leaving the reader with a new thought to consider.
Final Outline
- Your final outline should begin with a statement of your complete thesis.
- Outline the body ¶s with Roman numerals for the subtopics and capital letters to list your supporting ideas and evidence.
- Quotes should not be part of the outline.
- Points will be deducted if your outline does not fit your essay.
Writing
- If you type your first draft, print a copy before you are ready to write the final draft. Then make revisions to the rough draft by hand. Errors and wording problems are easier to find on paper than on the screen.
- Please type your final draft. Illegible handwriting is extremely frustrating to read and could affect your grade. However, if you type without thinking, you may be copying incorrectly, making incomprehensible sentences that are even more frustrating than illegible writing.
- Proofread your final draft! Use whiteout if you can’t recopy. It’s better to have imperfections in typing than to have imperfections in your writing.
MLA Form for English papers
- Heading goes on the LEFT
- Double space EVERYTHING, even if hand-written.
- Create your own original title. Subtitles include a colon. If you use the play title as part of your title, it must be underlined or italicized.
- Use a pen name instead of your name.
