In this module are the detailed instructions for each of these roles. Click on the instructions document for the mask you chose, and get started!
4. Also you will find links for additional paperwork right below those documents.
5. When you've finished all the parts of your final project, be sure to submit it as an attachment to this assignment. It is best to use word document or a powerpoint to organize your final project.
The exception to this is the Actor. I need the video file or a youtube link and your character analysis separate. Putting the videos in other types of documents slows them down and makes it hard to open.
Note this project is 200 points- do not give me a 50 point project.

IDEAS
What is the playwright trying to say about this world, the people, and the situation he/she
has written about?
World- the playwright is trying to posit that the world is a very harsh place where
death is a must thing. Elena’s husband just died and initially Luke’s wife has also passed
on. The script also shows how the world has been harsh to Grigory. Grigory was always
let down by his debtors who never paid back his money. He is also lonely and desperate
to find love with initial meet ups never growing to be anything strong.
People- the play expose people as unforgiving. Elena is sad that despite her being loyal to
his husband, the husband still cheated on her in many occasion. She found out after her
death when she found love letters in the closet. Grigory cannot let the debt to slide out
despite of the defaulters death (Elena’s husband).
State the major idea of the play (as you see it) in ONE complete sentence. Remember that
theme is NOT the plot, but rather a larger universal vision of the play’s meaning.
Life must go on no matter the situation.
