This resource explores the treatment of women by men in Hamlet. It could be given to students to facilitate independent learning by asking them to make notes for revision purposes. This could be followed with a practice exam question which allows students to demonstrate their new knowledge (not included).
Taster: *Gertrude is instrumental in manipulating our view of Ophelia’s death. The language surrounding her report of Ophelia’s ‘accident’ is almost fairytale-like. She describes ‘fantastic garlands’ and Ophelia as ‘mermaid-like’ and ‘like a creature native and indued / Unto that element.’ Perhaps Shakespeare felt it important that Gertrude be the one to break this news – a helpless female trying to save another’s reputation. *
