Lab: (until 8:00)
Continue to work on your play projects.
Classroom: We will watch Act III of Dr. Faustus performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company's production. This is the contemporary Globe Theater in London. Note that the crowd is standing where the "groundlings" would have been. Information about the modern Globe Theater can be found here.
After viewing Act III, we will pick up our reading with Acts IV & V to complete this tragedy. As we read, consider Marlowe's use of music, spectacle, language, idea, character, and plot (or lack thereof).
HOMEWORK: Complete Dr. Faustus (if we don't finish it during class); Read Titus Andronicus--Shakespeare's bloodiest and most violent play.
Extra Credit Opportunity: Read the one-act play "The Devil and Daniel Webster" by Stephen Vincent Benet, adapted by the author from his short story. Compare Dr. Faustus with "The Devil...Daniel Webster"--how is the depiction of the devil similar/different? How is the plot similar/different? In a paragraph or two response, please examine and answer this question using textual support to back up your answers.
