For your final set of questions, I'm going to divert from the normal 'guiding' questions and just give you some very simple prompts to explore. Where you decide to go with these will shape the path of our conversation next week!
Answer TWO of the following:
Q1: Discuss a moment or scene that would be very hard to stage in performance. Why is this? How might you solve it? OR, does it need to be there at all?
Q2: Discuss a moment of legitimate catharsis in Acts 4 or 5. Where do we feel a strong sense of pain, loss, horror, or release? How does Shakespeare accomplish this for you?
Q3: Discuss a moment where the comic takes over the tragic. How does this happen, and do you think everyone would read/hear it this way?
Q4: Disucss a speech (long or short) that you feel would survive the play as a stand-alone poem. Why is this? What makes it so satisfying simply from the point of poetry?
