Hamlet+In-Class

In-Class Essay #3 **Semester 1** **AP Lit and Comp** **Mr. Mullen** Many works of literature not readily identified with the mystery or detective story genre nonetheless involve the investigation of a mystery. In these works, the solution to the mystery may be less important than the knowledge gained in the process of its investigation. Explain how one or more of the characters in //Hamlet// confront a mystery (please note that a mystery does not have to involve a crime). Then write an essay in which you identify the mystery and explain how the investigation illuminates the meaning of the work as a whole. Make sure you use specific examples from the text, but do not merely summarize the plot.
