Today's session began with a consideration of the 'GOTHIC VILLAIN'. What are the characteristics of a gothic villain? Class discussion was excellent and the word VICTIM appeared when exploring this concept. The discussion then moved on to consider the significance of THE CHORUS in Marlowe's play. Again, class discussion was excellent. The final section of the session considered the THREE KEY MOMENTS within the play and why these moments are so dramatically important. Once more, class discussion was impressive.
Today's session was a reintroduction to Faustus after placing the focus on the completion of the coursework.
HOMEWORK: Complete coursework and read/listen/watch Marlowe's Faustus. Read the key soliloquies in Macbeth...especially MACBETH'S 'She should have died hereafter ' [Act 5 Scene 5]... 'Is this a dagger I see before me..' [Act 2 Scene 1]...LADY MAC'S 'The raven himself is hoarse..' [Act 1 Scene 5].
