Anthony

Review the character of Anthony as portrayed in Act 1, 2, and 3 of Julius Caesar. What picture does Shakespeare give us of this character and how does he change in importance to the play? As you read Act 4, what do you expect will happen because of some of the changes you have seen in Anthony?

Brute

In act II we hear a soliloquy by Brutus in which he discusses the reasons behind killing Caesar. What are these reasons and do they make sense? Ethically, would you say it is right to kill someone if you know they will do bad in the future? Find quotes that go with what side you pick. I don't want answers were you tell me you don't understand. This is for you to go back in to the play and think about what we read today. Remember your name at the end of the response.

Julius

I want you to reflect on your first impressions of the play. Which side do you think you would be on? Caesars or his opponents? Find textual evidence to defend which side you pick.
Remember to include your name.

Antigone

Since we have wrapped up our reading of Antigone I wanted to focus on the use of the chorus in the play. There is no wrong answer to these questions as lond as you can show that you have put thought in to each one.

-What does the Chorus add to the play?
-What would the play be like without the chorus?
-What information does the chorus bring to the tale?
-How does the chorus interact with the main characters?
-What aspect of this tragedy impacted you the most?
