Let's hear some predictions about what the HSC question will be for Hamlet. We know that they wont give us an extract as they did that last year, so what do you guys think?

how does ophelia and gertrude represent feminism in hamlet ;)

jks

tbh, it's hard to say because for hamlet, they can literally ask you anything. whilst the trial Q's tend to be broad, I ain't gonna bank on the actual HSC doing the same thing - they might even specify a character or textual form. but they will probably just ask for a certain idea that shapes hamlet

How is [insert 2 themes here] represented in hamlet etc.


Hope it's something to do with Hamlet's uncertainty / morals.

How do 2 or more characters represent what they strive for

I don't think there will be an extract this time around, as they've already done that last year... ><
But I don't really mind, as long as it isn't TOO Specific!

I would shoot myself if that question was this year's Hamlet. But then you can also argue the fact that they don't contribute shit to Hamlet and is there just for moral support

Catholic this year had specified a question on Morality of Hamlet. Catholic is quick to catch on those types of things so I think this year they might choose character 4 Hamlet.

My personal predictions are:
-Gender differences
-Choosing 2 characters and discussing about them
-Choosing 2 scenes and discussing a particular concept, most likely something broad
-Morality and uncertainty.

I'd have been semi stuffed if I any of the first three options last year.

Im stuffed if they asked the third one. I don't know which 2 scenes I would choose because my essay is constructed by multiple scenes.

I doubt it would say 2 scenes. It woul probably say something like "At LEAST 2" like our trial. Also if its gender inequality ill get like 4/20 for my essay

Yeah I'm betting it'll be on morality / uncertainty, something to do with Hamlet the character being conflicted etc. etc.

Guys, after much consideration, im predicting that the question they will be asking is going to be about, Gender roles & Morality, and how these two concepts are interlinked and manifested in the text.
