This is a 40-slide PowerPoint presentation which would be great as a starting point with a class about to embark on a study of Hamlet OR as a revision-aid once they have studied the play.
It includes questions and discussion points as well as a review quiz at the end.
The PowerPoint is constructed as follows:
Firstly, it provides an overview of the play, discussing Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s murder while grappling with indecision, madness, and moral dilemmas.
The historical context is explored, highlighting the political instability and religious conflict in early 17th century England, which is reflected in the play’s portrayal of a corrupt and troubled court. The theme of revenge is examined through Hamlet’s procrastination and the contrasting decisiveness of characters like Laertes and Fortinbras.
Madness is discussed as a reflection of political instability and corruption, with debates on whether Hamlet is truly mad. The theme of corruption and decay is analyzed through political corruption, physical decay imagery, and moral corruption.
The theme of appearance vs. reality is explored through deception, manipulation, and the play-within-a-play device. The theme of action and inaction is examined through Hamlet’s hesitation, moral qualms, and philosophical musings.
The presentation also includes discussion points and analysis, potential examination questions, and a revision quiz. It concludes with reflections on the enduring relevance of “Hamlet” and its exploration of human nature, complex characters, and themes of power, politics, and deception.

The PowerPoint focuses on the concept of globalisation and its various aspects. It begins by defining globalisation as the process of greater integration and inter-connectedness between countries, highlighting the main features such as the growth of international trade, trade liberalisation, enhanced mobility of labour and capital, increased cultural exchange, and the rise of multinational corporations (MNCs).
The presentation also covers trading blocs, explaining how groups of countries agree to trade together freely, with examples like the European Union (EU) and the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA). It discusses the role of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in promoting free trade and reducing trade barriers.
Additionally, the presentation explores the impact of globalisation on businesses and economies, including the benefits such as improved allocation of resources, increased specialisation, and greater competition, as well as the potential downsides like inequality, environmental impacts, and structural unemployment.
The role of MNCs in globalisation is also highlighted, noting their influence on capital inflows, economies of scale, employment, and infrastructure development. However, it also points out the negative aspects, such as the profit motive, impact on small firms, environmental impact, and exploitation.
Finally, the presentation addresses barriers to international business, including protectionist measures like tariffs, customs duties, quotas, and legal restrictions, as well as other barriers such as exchange rate volatility, legal and regulatory systems, and economic sanctions.
