Tuesday Tasks:

Block A: Today we finished reading Act 2 of R&J - please complete the study guide in preparation for the quiz tomorrow.

Blocks B&D: We finished reading Act 3 of MSND today and we will be having a quiz on the act tomorrow. Here are the questions from the overhead:

1. Some critics see Bottom as a fool. Others think he is wiser than he appears. What is your opinion of Bottom? Make sure to back up your answers with evidence from the text.


2. What causes Helena to become angry with Hermia? In your opinion, why does Helena refuse to believe her friend and would-be lovers?


3. Find as many examples as you can, of characters confusing illusion for reality. Make sure to note the lines in which you find your examples.


4. Some characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream are round characters. In other words, they undergo psychological growth as a result of their experiences. Other characters move the plot forward but do not undergo any real, inner change. These are flat characters. With a partner, or on your own, categorize the characters in the play as either round or flat. For each character identify at least two examples from the text that support your analysis of the characterization. What role do you think flat characters play in a comedy?
