Tuesday May 28

2D1
-quote test tomorrow
-be prepared

Answers to yesterday's quotes:

For the first quote -
Speaker - Macbeth
Context - soliloquy (you must always mention it is a soliloquy in the context - if it is one)
             - at Dunsinane OR
             - just before the murder of Duncan
Dramatic Purpose - (2 possible answers - not to say there are not others)
Foreshadowing
Suspense - Dangerous Situation


Second Quote -
Speaker - Lady Macbeth
Context - is sleepwalking with gentlewoman and doctor listening (I think you need tell me both here)
             - at Dunisinane
Dramatic Purpose (possible answers)
Theme of Internal Conflict-Guilt
Develops Character of Lady Macbeth

Remember - your dramatic purpose MUST reflect the words in the quote, not what is about to happen or just happened, but what THOSE words are developing about the play

More Practice - Try to do these without looking and then check to see if you were right

So fair and foul a day I have not seen. (I,iii,39)

It will have blood; they say blood will have blood. (III,iv,151)



3C1
-read up to 119
-reviewed for quiz on Wednesday (quiz outline given on Monday)
