As the battle scenes in Act V take place off stage, we first studied Shakespeare's dramatic technique of having on stage characters describe off stage action to the audience. Bobby did a good job comparing Romeo's suicide in Romeo and Juliet to Cassius' "suicide" in Act V as both deaths are based on a mistaken impression that a loved one or friend is dead. Upon learning of Cassius' death, Cassius' friend (who is not dead) comments,"The sun of Rome has set.". We examined the metaphorical language in this speech, and then critically addressed the importance of Brutus' comment "Caesar thou are revenged."Last, we reviewed the study guide homework, and made additions and grammatical revisions where appropriate . We further practiced how to draft a test question response requiring quote interpretation. For homework,finish reading the play and answer two study guide questions.
