Act Four, Scene One- Line Study
- A4S1 Line 70-83 (Black Pg. 151, Blue Pg.87) Antonio gives us three short images of how useless any attempt by Bassanio to save his life will be? I think that Antonio just wants to just fie so he has given up on living and just wants to get it done.
- What are they?(idk)
- What do they tell us about one of Shakespeare's interests. I'm not really into Shakespeare this is the first time knowing what it is.
- Do you think this is an effective way of demonstrating the problem. (I don't know what this means)
- Each example is an extreme and impossible, what influence does this have on how you expect the rest of the scene to develop. I think Antonio is going to get more miserable.
- A4S1 L90-100 (Black Pg. 88-, Blue Pg.151-152) , Shylock uses vivid comparisons when he wants to make a point. when he compared money to his flesh.
- What example does he use to illustrate the fact that the pound of flesh is his: ‘tis mine and I will have it’ I think he just want's to get the cutting so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
- It is much longer comparison than the three used by Antonio but do you think it is more striking/effective/convincing? I think he thinks hes lost everything and he doesn't want to live anymore. it was pretty effective because u think he was trying to make Shylock feel bad.
