Hamlet, Prince of Denmark Popol Vuh Candide

Requirements: Must use multiple quotes per reading & use each text to support evidence.
Use quotes to back up claims - no outside sources necessary, just the 3 texts

PROMPT: explore an aspect of the interior history of each culture, examining an aspect that you feel is representative of that history. How do we get to know these people? In what ways might we connect? What could the literature offer as far as a way into what life was like then? The essay prompt asks for writers to explore how we get to know the culture from where each text emerges. For example, in Hamlet, we can get an idea of the belief in the afterlife from various characters in the story: the Ghost's details about purgatory, Hamlet's providence of the sparrow soliloquy...etc. What are these people saying to you? What do you understand from the three cultures and time periods?
