About hamlet mind maps

GoConqr Original

Using Hamlet mind maps

A useful starting point is Hamlet - Act 1 - Characters, which gathers the characters in the opening act. For a broader look at that section, Hamlet - Act 1 brings together themes, quotations, language and setting. Maps for Acts 2 and 3 offer similar ways to organise revision by section.

Move from acts to themes

Once you have reviewed an act, compare it with a theme map. Hamlet - Themes includes action and inaction, while Appearance vs. Reality looks at characters including Hamlet, Claudius and Polonius. There are also individual maps on Ophelia, Gertrude and Laertes.

Use the branches of a map as prompts: cover the detail, recall what you can, then check it against the resource. If you want to practise quotations separately, switch to flashcards on the Hamlet unit page. Pick a theme map and see which connections you can recall.
