"Analyzing Art and Literature in the Northern Renaissance"
• As a 21st century viewer, describe and explain your interpretation of the painting and its elements.
• Give your opinion about the character Hamlet, considering whether you sympathize with him or think him self-absorbed. Explain how the literary form - a soliloquy - shapes your view of Hamlet. Now, choose a line or two (except "To be, or not to be") that you find is your favorite or you find interesting, and explain your choice. Finally, give your opinion as to why plays like this still connect with modern audiences.
