An apologia is a written or spoken statement in defense of one’s actions. It is usually produced when one’s actions are perceived to have been wrong, or done in error. You don’t really have to produce an apologia unless there are some people who are upset with you about something. That doesn’t mean that you have to explicitly apologize, but you DO have to produce a statement that seeks to reasonably account for and explain your actions in such a way that even someone who is critical of them might better understand your perspective.
So, for this assignment, I want you to write an apologia in the voice of one of the main characters in Hamlet. You can choose Hamlet, The Ghost, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia or Polonius. Any of these characters will work, because each of them has made some major mistakes.
Before you begin, you will need to choose the character, and also their audience. For instance, you might want Claudius to write an apologia to his brother who he murdered, or you might want Hamlet to write an apologia to Ophelia for how he treated her. You can choose from one of these examples, but there are a host of other possibilities, so I encourage you to be creative. Your character can apologize to one other character, multiple other characters or even to a larger group like the kingdom of Denmark.
The apologia should make very clear who the character is that is speaking. So for instance, if you choose Claudius, you will need to write, in the title of the assignment, “Claudius’s Apologia to the kingdom of Denmark,” or “Ophelia’s apologia to Gertrude” or “The Ghost’s Apologia to his son, Hamlet” or whatever you decide.
As you write the apologia, you should remain in the voice of the character making it. So if you choose Claudius, you need to write from the voice of Claudius throughout the whole assignment. You can imagine that you are Claudius if you want, but you can just as easily imagine that you are his court reporter, or someone he’s asked to write down the apologia for him. However you work best is fine.
This is a creative assignment, but it should be rigorous as well. You should quote at least three times from the text. For instance, of you’re writing an apologia from the Ghost’s perspective, you might include a quote by saying, “Remember when I told you to “swear” Hamlet?” The ghost remains in character, but he also quotes something that he said. So your work will need to remain in character, but also quote at least twice from the text. This will make it more interesting and more rigorous as well.
The aim of the assignment will be to explore this character’s motivations and thinking, but also to sort of make the case for the value of this character’s apologia as well. You are welcome to think outside the box and produce something that doesn’t seem to make sense, as long as the apologia stands up. This is an interpretive, creative and analytical project, all wrapped in one.
Nuts and Bolts: Typed, double spaced, MLA formatted on Microsoft Word and attached as a document that I can open. 700 words minimum and quote at least three times from Hamlet. Your work will be judged based on the uniqueness and quality of your argument, your familiarity and engagement with the play and of course fulfilling the formatting and length criteria of the assignment.

Do you feel having the power to remove that person to be appropriate to the citizens? Do you believe this power should be granted to anyone, if so who? I too see more cons than pros in this as it can be easily filed by a 100+ word statement and some signatures. If this is allowed, I believe there should be a more in depth process. The person wanting to file a recall should have firm evidence as to why they need a recall on such official. If all that is needed is a small statement, this could become a slippery slope. Min 50 words or more.

Take ten minutes to free write about what you learned while reading and discussing
Overcoming Our Evil
, what you think Stalnaker aims to achieve, and whether or not you think he succeeds on those terms. Do not worry about grammatical mistakes or complete sentences. This section is only graded on completion. I want to see that you’re taking the time to reflect on the material before you start writing.
Consider these questions: Does Stalnaker’s comparison of Xunzi and Augustine primarily
report on and describe
these thinkers or
interpret and evaluate
these thinkers? And is the concept of “moral formation” important to Stalnaker because he thinks it is important to Xunzi and Augustine historically, to Confucians and Christians over the centuries, or to the modern reader who hopes to be morally formed? Write a paragraph that answers these questions. I want to know what you think! As a reminder, your primary subject should be Stalnaker, and you should make an argument that can be supported by the text. (~250 words)
Copy three quotes from the text that you think best support your answer in the last paragraph. These quotes are providing evidence or grounds for your argument. Think about how you might convince a reader that what you say about the book is the strongest reading of it. Don’t forget to include page numbers. (~150 words total)

Quote 3:
Provide some background information for each of the quotes copied above: What is the place of each quote in the text? How do they fit into Stalnaker’s larger argument? If someone had not read the book, what basic information would they need to know to understand each quote? (~150 words total)
Background for Quote 1:
Background for Quote 2:
Background for Quote 3:
Provide a reason for why you think each quote is important and how it supports your claim in paragraph #2. This is a crucial step! You are explaining why or how your data supports your argument. The quotes do not stand on their own. Think about what stands out to you about those quotes and why you think the audience should take time to read them. Think of this step as a warrant for your choices in section #3. (~200 words total)
