Write a paragraph of 8-10 sentences answering the questions below each passage. In your paragraph, quote at least twice from the passage using proper MLA in-text citation rules. William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark.
Passage: from Act 5, Scene 1.
No, faith, not a jot; but to follow him thither with modesty enough, (168)
and likelihood to lead it; as thus: Alexander died, Alexander was buried, (169)
Alexander returneth into dust; the dust is earth; of earth we make loam, (170)
and why of that loam, whereto he was converted, might they not stop a (171)
beer-barrel? (172)
Imperious Cæsar, dead and turn’d to clay, (173)
Might stop a hole to keep the wind away: (174)
O! that that earth, which kept the world in awe, (175)
Should patch a wall to expel the winter’s flaw. (176)
Where is this scene taking place? Who is speaking these lines? What subject is the
character philosophizing about here? Explain what he means with his examples
about Alexander and Caesar. Also, connect his discussion here back to his own
experiences as portrayed previously in the story: What has he gone through that
might lead him to ponder this issue so deeply?
