Read the essay Hamlet by William Shakespeare and Discussion Forum Prompt below.
Discussion Forum Prompt:
Post below with a subject and body. Each student has his/her own thread.
Comment within your classmate's existing thread (do not start a new one).
Initial Post
Time for some creative writing! Think of an alternative ending for the play. Be sure to think about at what point in the play something was altered and how the plot would shift. For example, what would have happened if Ophelia didn't die and ended up marrying Hamlet? Or maybe she hooked up with Horatio? Or, what if Gertrude did not drink the poison and ended up marrying Fortinbras, since she likes sexing kings. What if somehow the ghost was proven to be fake, or a demon, or someone playing a sick joke?
Explain your rewrite decision.
