@CrossProb You're forgetting Drew Maher 1:50.something

friends is unclear as they do not act thusly #falzapham

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

Guildenstern and Rosencrantz act in ways contrary to their friendship with Hamlet, granted, he is not always an example of a true friend. Nonetheless they still deliver Hamlet to his executioner and give with him the orders for his death. Exactly how they are his best #falzapham

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

Hamlet, despite his flaws is the character that should receive any and all sympathy from the audience. #falzapham

#falzapham Claudius is a coward. Not only does he create a secret plan to have Hamlet killed upon arrival in England, but he poisons the dagger that Laertes will use as well as the wine Hamlet may drink. This serves only to polarize the audience against Claudius and show that

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

#falzapham The nature of Hamlet's madness is revealed fully when Ophelia starts acting truly mad. The two portrayals of madness demonstrate whether or not each is faking or not. Ophelia goes mad because of Hamlet's actions, and Hamlets actions prove that he is not really infirm

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

#falzapham when Hamlet mistook Polonius as Claudius, he sealed his fate. It gives Claudius the perfect way in which to dispose of Hamlet, as he is clearly "unsafe" to be around due to his indiscriminate killing. Hamlet did more harm to himself than to anyone else

#falzapham Hamlet wishes beyond everything to be mad, and does so convincingly at first, but in reality he is just a man consumed by the thought that revenge is his to enact. Clearly he is not mad, just obsessed.

@realDonaldTrump So is now the time to talk about Gun Control?

@klazaar_ #falzawake717 I think that the Devotion breeds only jealousy and is a bad thing inherently. It is doomed from the start

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@haleyhbhs @kintropea #falzawake717 The fact that he showed her absolute devotion was the only reason they were together. Mr. Pontellier was unable to provide her such devotion and love and care, so Leonce filled a gap. She felt like she had control and that's what attracted her, not him but control

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@storrens09 #falzawake717 Chopin also redefined the traditional symbolism of the ocean. Instead of making it something overwhelming it was turned into a force for good.

@jduthie32 @BiancaPinedaBHS @lauren__browne #falzawake717 Well then does that not, in a way, invalidate all of her achievements in the pursuit of liberty in life?

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@storrens09 #falzawake717 Is it possible that the author ultimately made Edna kill herself to prove a point other than just how free she became?

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

#falzawake717 at times I felt the symbolism was rather blatant. In a way I felt it cheapened certain scenes i.e. the swimming scene in chapter 10.

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@guscouto00 #falzawake717 maybe she views the men she meets as less than an escape from reality but a substitution? She can never escape reality but by spending time with these men, she is able to enter into a different perceptual state where she is in more control of who and what she does

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@agillespieBHS @haleyhbhs #falzawake717 well you see, I think that the symbolic significance of this scene is the fact that she is no longer dependent on anyone or anything to comfort her. In a way the loss of Leonce here is the last chain to be broken before she truly comes into her own

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@guscouto00 #falzawake717 I agree, all throughout the book whenever Mr. Pontellier came into story Edna was immediately stricken with a different attitude, one of subservience. I think that her mental state is due in no small part to the way she was valued as nothing more than an object

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

#falzawake717 I really like the way her husband was characterized as well as the other people in the book. It was extremely well written and her the way she structure her book lent toward a sarcastic tone at times -- especially during the scene we analyzed for the essay yesterday

[Stuart Gruters @grootahs]

@rmcgriskin7 #falzawake717 its also cool the way Chopin compared her newfound discovery to that of a child "who of a sudden discover[ed] its powers"
