Homework due April 14, 2010

Due at the beginning of class on Wednesday:

Bring in a fact about either Shakespeare or Hamlet (the play or person). Write down your fact so you can hand it in for an EASY GRADE.

However, you may not have the same fact as someone else in class, so you may want to post your fact here or spread the word of your fact.

  7. Shakespeare was buried in the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. He put a curse on anyone daring to move his body from that final resting place. His epitaph was:

    "Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear,
    To dig the dust enclosed here:
    Blest be the man that spares these stones,
    And curst be he that moves my bones."

    Though it was customary to dig up the bones from previous graves to make room for others, Shakespeare's remains are still undisturbed.
