Blocks A&D:
1. How did you enjoy the play-within-a-play? Did it make you laugh? Make a list of some of the more humourous lines in the play performed by Bottom and his actors.
2. Why does Hippolyta initially seem hesitant to watch the play?
3. Why does Snug, who plays the Lion, make a fuss about proclaiming his true identity?
4. In reading the play-within-a-play, we become the audience for the drama played out by Theseus, in turn, form the audience for the reenactment of Pyramus and Thisbe. How does observing another audience help you understand the relationship between audiences and performers?
5. Modern T.V. shows often create comic effects by having a silly, innocent, or "clueless" character and a sarcastic, knowing, clever character play off of each other. What examples can you think of?
