question for March 29th
Posted on March 27, 2007
Do ONE:
1. Take a detail (scene, situation, character, piece of dialogue, begining, ending, whatever) from Scotland, P.A. and discuss how it alters Macbeth in some way (adding, deleting, changing emphasis, etc.). Besides just describing the change, see if you can explain how it alters the audience's perception of Shakespeare's original. For example, does it alter our sense of the tragedy of Macbeth (now Joe Macbeth)? IS it a tragedy at all?
2. Does Scotland, P.A. sustain or refute the notion of "indefinition" set out in Booth's piece on Macbeth?
3. Pat Macbeth ... does she embody any of the notions of "woman" / femininity that Janet Adelman addresses in "Constructing the Matrix" (the essay you read for last week when Professor Schnell came to class)? You might consider the material from Men of Respect that Professor Schnell showed.
