Rowan Cabarrus Community College Characters Staging in Macbeth Discussion
Plays are meant to be performed, rather than read. The purpose of dramatic arts often extends far beyond the words written on a page; staging, lighting, costumes intonation, expression, and audience experience are all part of the experience of a theatrical production.

Choose a play that you would like to view and find a version online, YouTube, DVD or iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc. You can also choose to see a play live if you prefer.Play Suggestions:A Midsummer Night's DreamRomeo and JulietAs You Like ItTaming of the ShrewThe TempestMuch Ado About NothingThe Comedy of ErrorsMacbethKing LearIf you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.Then, select and address one of the following options:Option 1: Write an analysis of the play that you viewed.

How?What parts of the play are easier to understand through performance? What are some details that stood out through performance?What are your feelings about this performance? What did you take away from viewing it?Option 2: Find an adaptation or transformation of a play. Choose an adaptation with some significant differences from the original, such as transposed plots and characters into a variety of different settings and historical contexts. Here are some examples:A Midsummer Night's Dream - A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) or A Midsummer Night's DREAM (2018)Romeo and Juliet - Romeo + Juliet (1996) or West Side Story (1961) or Romeo Must Die (2000)As You Like It - As You Like It (2006)Taming of the Shrew - 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) or Kiss Me, Kate (1948)Much Ado About Nothing - Much Ado About Nothing (2012)The Comedy of Errors - The Bomb-itty of Errors (2012)King Lear - A Thousand Acres (1997)Othello - O (2001)Hamlet - The Lion King (2019 or 1994) or Hamlet (2000)Twelfth Night - She's the Man (2006)If you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.Watch the original version and the adapted version.

Macbeth Video Assignment Assignment 1 MACBETH VIDEOS After watching 1 full production of Macbeth, find a scene from another production. You can rent one of the many Macbeth movies or look for clips on youtube--but avoid student productions. Look for professional clips (anything with Judi Dench or Ian McKellen would be great). Select one scene from the play and examine the production of that scene in both the first version and the second one you have found. Write a short (2 to 3 page essay) in which you discuss the differences among the two versions. As you are comparing them, here are some things to consider: 1) Have a sense of how you think the scene should go. What do you imagine the setting to be?pow What would you have the characters wearing? Who would you cast in the roles? How do you imagine the characters delivering their lines? Interacting with each other? 2) Note the ways in which the productions differ from your expectation and from each other. 3) Evaluate the performances. Did the actors deliver the lines with the emotion/expression you expected? Which production did it better? Did the production focus on different aspects of the scene than you thought were important? Did the two productions emphasize the same elements of the scene? Did the actors seem well suited to their roles? Which production did it better? 4) Did the productions cut or add anything to the scene? Were the changes helpful or detracting? See the following rubric: Indicator/Point Value Description Instructor Comments Indicator: Essay fully addresses the prompt. Point Value: 35 Essay is a minimum of two pages when formatted correctly in MLA format. Essay contains a thesis that addresses how the different versions of Macbeth address a particular scene and how that difference impacts the meaning of the work. Thesis statement demonstrates analysis of the versions and how the versions emphasize themes in the play. Essay uses the two productions of the play to support the assertion in the thesis statement. Specific titles are provided for all works used (both the original play and the performances). . Textual evidence is used and properly cited for each of the productions. Indicator: Essay is properly structured and demonstrates a mastery literary analysis Point Value: 35 Essay contains a clear introduction that introduces the name of the text, the author of the text, a one-sentence summary of the text included, and a clear thesis. Introduction is written as though the audience is not familiar w/ the text. Thesis statement makes an argumentative assertion about the topic. Thesis statement states the conclusions you have reached about your topic. Thesis statement makes a promise to the reader about the scope, purpose, and direction of your paper. Thesis statement is focused and specific enough to be “proven” within the boundaries of your paper. Thesis statement identifies the relationship between the pieces of evidence that you are using to support your argument. Body paragraphs support the thesis. Body paragraphs begin with a strong transitional phrase and use textual evidence to support the thesis. Body paragraphs avoid simple summary and use the textual evidence for analysis. The conclusion paragraph summarizes the major points outlined in the essay and re-affirms the thesis statement from the introduction.

Formal academic voice used (no first person or contractions used) Assignment 2 Romanticism ROMANTICISM A movement characterized not by "romance" as we understand the word today, but by an emphasis on the emotional over the rational, romanticism emerged in part as a reaction to the coldly scientific progress of the eighteenth century. Read the brief description of the Romantic period here. Some questions on the worksheet come from information on this site. GOTHICISM The Gothic genre actually began before the romantic movement really came together. In a site prepared for a class on "The Gothic Experience" at Brooklyn College, Dr. Lilia Melanie offers an accessible definition of "Gothic" as it pertains to literature. Read through her explanations at the following links: Gothic Defined, History, and Terror vs. Horror. Questions from this material will also appear on the worksheet. SATIRE While satire as a literary genre dates back to Greek and Roman orators, during the romantic period it experienced a sort of revival. Several authors--of prose, poetry, and non-fiction--turned to satire to express their concern over the state of society. Download and review the PowerPoint notes on satire. This information will be needed to complete future assignments. Finally, visit this Glossary of Gothic terms by Douglas Thomson and refer to the terms on romanticism, Gothic conventions, and satire found there. View the attachedPPT Complete the Romanticism/Gothicism Worksheet ( not available yet) I will be able to view the worksheet after submitting MACBETH VIDEO essay Assignment 3 Frankenstein FRANKENSTEIN What began as a response to a challenge to write the best ghost story has become one of the most well-known and copied tales of the period. Read this concise biography of the author, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and note the themes it introduces. Also keep in mind as you read that, while Shelley intended to write a novel in the Gothic tradition, Frankenstein also demonstrates elements of science fiction. Download the study guide questions to complete as you read. These are designed to help guide your reading and check for understanding. You will not turn these in to be graded, but understanding these details in the novel will help you complete the assigned activities. An online version of the text can be found here.

Waldman, and how does it differ from the theroies of Agrippa and the other scientists Victor studies? Chapters Three, Four, and Five Why do you think Victor created such a horrible-looking creature? Did he realize what he was doing? Explain your answer. What are some of the characteristics of the Gothic novel and how does Mary Shelley use them in these chapters. Victor tells us that his friend Clerval's imagination was "too vivid for the minuitae of science." What does he mean by this?

How does it help establish character and mood in the novel? Discuss Victor's reluctance to create the second creature. Why do you think he destroys it in front of the other creature? Compare the events that occur on Victor's wedding night to the night when Victor destroyed the second creature. Did it surprise you that the creature killed Elizabeth and not Victor? Explain your answer. When Victor is chasing him, why does the creature keep leaving clues to help Victor follow his trail? Do you think Victor is right when he urges Walton to abandon his ambition?

Assignment 5 Frankenstein Essay ESSAY ASSIGNMENT Directions: Complete one of the following essay assignments. Read each one carefully before deciding on an essay. At the top of your work, please label which option you chose. Option 1: Point of View A frame narrative tells stories within stories. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley provides a frame narrative by allowing Walton, Frankenstein, and the Monster a chance to explain their point-of-view at various times in the novel. Each of these narrations helps to influence the reader's perception of the story. This assignment has three parts. First, in three well-developed paragraphs of at least 7 sentences each, explain the different perspectives of the story though the eyes of Walton, Frankenstein, and the Monster. How does each perspective help to build the overall theme of the story? Second, in a paragraph of at least 7 well-developed sentences, explain which character you most identity with. Why are you drawn to this character? Finally, in a paragraph of at least 7 well-developed sentences, explain your opinion of who the real “monster” is in the story. Why do you feel this way?

As well, three outside sources must be used to provide modem scientific evidence of the possibility of recreating Dr. Frankenstein’s experiment. These sources must also be properly cited in MLA Format. Remember the modern science has come a long way in the past 20 year alone in relations to organ transplants and prosthetics. Imagine the innovative possibilities 20 years into the future! Dig deep to find the evidence needed to complete the essay. Please check for spelling, grammar, and word choice errors before turning in the assignment. Option 3: The Monster How do people react to the Monster when they see him? Can you blame them? Are they right? How does this relate to the way people judge each other in modern society? Do you have compassion for the Creature? Why or why not? This assignment is at least 1000 words and must answer the above questions in full. Please use evidence from the story to support your claim properly cited in MLA format as well as at least two outside sources.

Sentences vary in structure between simple, complex, compound, and complex-compound structures. Fully developed paragraphs have a minimum of four – five sentences each. Formal academic voice used (no first person or contractions used) Mock Heroic MOCK HEROIC Social behaviors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were guided by a rigid, but unwritten, code. In his poem "The Rape of the Lock" Alexander Pope explores the complicated relationships between men and women and uses a mock heroic style to criticize the overly dramatic behaviors of a specific social class. Use the "Outline: 'The Rape of the Lock'" and "Poetic Forms and Terms'" handouts as you read the poem. Read "The Rape of the Lock" here. This site also offers an easy to understand summary of the poem and discussion of some themes in the poem. And SparkNoteshas study questions or even an online quiz to test your understanding of the poem. After you read the poem and consider the questions on the handouts, explore the information on the website where you read the poem. Pay specific attention to the elements of the mock heroic in the poem. Complete the short writing assignment based on what you have read. Assignment 6 The Rape of the Lock Create a document titled "The Rape of the Lock." Compose a one-page response to the following writing prompts. Although the prompt has several parts, your answer should be one long, well-developed paragraph that addresses the different parts in any order you choose. Prompt: How would you characterize Pope’s attitude towards Belinda? Where (if anywhere) do you see praise, and where (if anywhere) do you see some version of insult? How would you feel about this poem if you were Belinda? This poem was a best-seller even among the people it was making fun of. Can you think of reasons why the targets of a satirical work be fans of that work? Remember to format your document according to MLA guidelines. The are couple of handouts that suppose to help you completing the above assignment. However, you are not obligated to use them! ( Find Handout z3F8and a9Z5F attached). Assignment 7 Social Criticism SOCIAL CRITICISM Johnathon Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is one of the best--and some would say, shocking--examples of written satire. Swift takes on the voice of a very reasonable, concerned citizen to argue for the most barbaric of actions. As you read, it is very important that you remember this is a piece of satire, not a serious suggestion. He is proposing an extremely distasteful behavior to demonstrate how extremely distasteful he finds the current behavior of society. Before you begin reading, you can find an outline of the essay here (also look at task 2 for suggestions about how to break down the text to analyze it). The full text is available to read here. Read through the essay, noting the elements of satire (such as irony, reversal, exaggeration) that were discussed in the PowerPoint notes. After you have studied the essay, complete the short writing assignment. A Modest Proposal Create a document titled "A Modest Proposal." Format according to MLA guidelines. In a one to two-page response, respond to the following prompt. Although the prompt has several parts, your response should be one well-developed paragraph. Do not treat each part of the prompt as separate question. Instead integrate all the suggestions into your response, organizing your answer as best suits your ideas. Prompt: Evaluate Swift's "Proposal," applying the three questions for identifying satire found in your PowerPoint notes. What are Swift's real ideas about how to help the poor? What satiric methods does he use? (give examples) Do Swift's criticisms have any application in our society today? Assignment 7 FINAL ASSESSMENT We have studied a lot of styles--Gothic, mock heroic, satiric. For this final activity, you will have the chance to do some creative writing, mimicking the style you prefer. Select one of the options below. You may refer to the text we studied as a model as you compose your original work. Option #1: Gothic Tale Using what you have learned about the conventions of the Gothic style (setting, themes, hero) compose a short Gothic tale. Your story can be "unfinished"--meaning it can sound like the introduction to a long story--or can be a complete story with a clear resolution. Requirements: Minimum 600 words Incorporates at least 3 elements of Gothic literature (found on the website at the beginning of this unit) Uses vivid description Introduces at least one character and one conflict Option #2: Mock Heroic/Epic This will be done in the form of a poem. Like Pope's "The Rape of the Lock," you will select a trivial situation (social situation, school or celebrity gossip, etc.) as the basis of your epic. Following the elements of the mock heroic as explained in the PowerPoint notes and on the website (from your study of Pope), compose a poem in the mock heroic style. Requirements: At least 50 lines long Written in rhymed couplets (aa, bb, cc, etc.) Contains at least one example of personification Contains at least one allusion Uses vivid descriptions, hyperbole, humor, or other elements of satire Option #3: Satire Essay Johnathan Swift's essay proposed an outrageous solution to a serious problem. At the same time, it exposed the hypocrisy in the current popular thought and the scandal in how the poor were treated. Select an event of some seriousness/importance in your school, community, state, country, the world and compose a prose satire of the event. Requirements: Minimum 500 words Author adopts a different persona as the "speaker" of the essay Contains at least one example of verbal irony Uses vivid descriptions, hyperbole, humor, or other elements of satire Can be done in the form of a parody Clear organizational structure

Read the brief description of the Romantic period here. Some questions on the worksheet come from information on this site. GOTHICISM The Gothic genre actually began before the romantic movement really came together. In a site prepared for a class on "The Gothic Experience" at Brooklyn College, Dr. Lilia Melanie offers an accessible definition of "Gothic" as it pertains to literature. Read through her explanations at the following links: Gothic Defined, History, and Terror vs. Horror. Questions from this material will also appear on the worksheet. SATIRE While satire as a literary genre dates back to Greek and Roman orators, during the romantic period it experienced a sort of revival. Several authors--of prose, poetry, and non-fiction--turned to satire to express their concern over the state of society. Download and review the PowerPoint notes on satire. This information will be needed to complete future assignments. Finally, visit this Glossary of Gothic terms by Douglas Thomson and refer to the terms on romanticism, Gothic conventions, and satire found there.

Formal academic voice used (no first person or contractions used) Mock Heroic MOCK HEROIC Social behaviors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were guided by a rigid, but unwritten, code. In his poem "The Rape of the Lock" Alexander Pope explores the complicated relationships between men and women and uses a mock heroic style to criticize the overly dramatic behaviors of a specific social class. Use the "Outline: 'The Rape of the Lock'" and "Poetic Forms and Terms'" handouts as you read the poem. Read "The Rape of the Lock" here. This site also offers an easy to understand summary of the poem and discussion of some themes in the poem. And SparkNoteshas study questions or even an online quiz to test your understanding of the poem. After you read the poem and consider the questions on the handouts, explore the information on the website where you read the poem. Pay specific attention to the elements of the mock heroic in the poem. Complete the short writing assignment based on what you have read. Assignment 6 The Rape of the Lock Create a document titled "The Rape of the Lock." Compose a one-page response to the following writing prompts. Although the prompt has several parts, your answer should be one long, well-developed paragraph that addresses the different parts in any order you choose. Prompt: How would you characterize Pope’s attitude towards Belinda? Where (if anywhere) do you see praise, and where (if anywhere) do you see some version of insult? How would you feel about this poem if you were Belinda? This poem was a best-seller even among the people it was making fun of. Can you think of reasons why the targets of a satirical work be fans of that work? Remember to format your document according to MLA guidelines. The are couple of handouts that suppose to help you completing the above assignment. However, you are not obligated to use them! ( Find Handout z3F8and a9Z5F attached). Assignment 7 Social Criticism SOCIAL CRITICISM Johnathon Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is one of the best--and some would say, shocking--examples of written satire. Swift takes on the voice of a very reasonable, concerned citizen to argue for the most barbaric of actions. As you read, it is very important that you remember this is a piece of satire, not a serious suggestion. He is proposing an extremely distasteful behavior to demonstrate how extremely distasteful he finds the current behavior of society. Before you begin reading, you can find an outline of the essay here (also look at task 2 for suggestions about how to break down the text to analyze it). The full text is available to read here. Read through the essay, noting the elements of satire (such as irony, reversal, exaggeration) that were discussed in the PowerPoint notes. After you have studied the essay, complete the short writing assignment. A Modest Proposal Create a document titled "A Modest Proposal." Format according to MLA guidelines. In a one to two-page response, respond to the following prompt. Although the prompt has several parts, your response should be one well-developed paragraph. Do not treat each part of the prompt as separate question. Instead integrate all the suggestions into your response, organizing your answer as best suits your ideas. Prompt: Evaluate Swift's "Proposal," applying the three questions for identifying satire found in your PowerPoint notes. What are Swift's real ideas about how to help the poor? What satiric methods does he use? (give examples) Do Swift's criticisms have any application in our society today? Assignment 7 FINAL ASSESSMENT We have studied a lot of styles--Gothic, mock heroic, satiric. For this final activity, you will have the chance to do some creative writing, mimicking the style you prefer. Select one of the options below. You may refer to the text we studied as a model as you compose your original work. Option #1: Gothic Tale Using what you have learned about the conventions of the Gothic style (setting, themes, hero) compose a short Gothic tale. Your story can be "unfinished"--meaning it can sound like the introduction to a long story--or can be a complete story with a clear resolution. Requirements: Minimum 600 words Incorporates at least 3 elements of Gothic literature (found on the website at the beginning of this unit) Uses vivid description Introduces at least one character and one conflict Option #2: Mock Heroic/Epic This will be done in the form of a poem. Like Pope's "The Rape of the Lock," you will select a trivial situation (social situation, school or celebrity gossip, etc.) as the basis of your epic. Following the elements of the mock heroic as explained in the PowerPoint notes and on the website (from your study of Pope), compose a poem in the mock heroic style. Requirements: At least 50 lines long Written in rhymed couplets (aa, bb, cc, etc.) Contains at least one example of personification Contains at least one allusion Uses vivid descriptions, hyperbole, humor, or other elements of satire Option #3: Satire Essay Johnathan Swift's essay proposed an outrageous solution to a serious problem. At the same time, it exposed the hypocrisy in the current popular thought and the scandal in how the poor were treated. Select an event of some seriousness/importance in your school, community, state, country, the world and compose a prose satire of the event. Requirements: Minimum 500 words Author adopts a different persona as the "speaker" of the essay Contains at least one example of verbal irony Uses vivid descriptions, hyperbole, humor, or other elements of satire Can be done in the form of a parody Clear organizational structure
