If you were absent today, be sure to hand in your poetry notes and do the terms test at lunch tomorrow. We reviewed the elements of revenge tragedy and Aristotle's definition of tragedy. The role of Act 1, characters, imagery (page 14) and read the first two pages of scene 1.
For homework, finish reading Act 1, Scene 1, post-it note key quotes that seem to be setting conflicts, or themes. Keep an eye out for the four imagery
examples: disease, rot/decay, weeds, masks (cosmetics, harlotry, smiling villain etc).
Focus on the questions posed in the first few lines of the play:
Who is there?
What can we see? Can we trust our eyes if villains are kings and friends are enemies?
