The Student and Tutor continued working on an English essay analyzing Hamlet, focusing on refining textual evidence and analytical comments. They practiced dissecting quotes to connect specific language to broader arguments about Hamlet's character and motivations, particularly his overthinking and pursuit of justice, using examples from the chapel scene and "The Mousetrap." The session also reinforced proper quote formatting and citation.
