The aim of this session was to watch a version of the play and discuss the nature of the representation. In the version that we watched, some students were surprised by how aggressive Meph appeared to be from the moment of his first appearance and the passive presentation of Faustus. This lesson discussed the importance of SPECTACLE AND DISTRACTION.
It is extremely important that students develop an informed understanding of the first FIVE SCENES of the play.
HOMEWORK: READ/WATCH/LISTEN to the presentation of THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS and consider this scene in the context of SPECTACLE AND DISTRACTION. What is the aim of this scene? We will also be discussing Frankenstein in the next session.
