Copy and paste your research paper intro paragraph as this week's blog (1pt). Critique peer's intro with both positive and negative comments(4pts).

The purpose for this research paper is to investigate what kind of relationship Gertrude and Claudius had. Claudius proves throughout the play how important the Queen is to him. The way Gertrude and Claudius became each other’s spouse was never revealed in the play. Even though, Gertrude and Claudius were happily married. However, their marriage may have occurred because they were in love. Claudius’s actions in Hamlet when Gertrude went to drink the poison, question if his love for her was stronger than his love for power. Not to mention, he was the previous King’s brother, which could lead you to believe he did indeed have an alternative motive.
