1.Discussion of end of Scene 1
2. Good start on the "Agenda Speeech" at the start of Scene 2.

TOMORROW
More of Scene 2, with an eye toward questions like this:
Judging by speech and on-stage actions so far, is Claudius a good king?
Why is he treating Laertes and Hamlet differently with respect to their similar requests?
What possible real motivation could he have for his decision re: Hamlet?
What's bothering Hamlet the most in his first soliloquy?
What's unusual (maybe even odd) about the way in which Hamlet greets Horatio? (How long has Horation been there?)
