We continued to study the blood and water imagery in Act II as well as the psychological impact of guilt on both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Further, we studied the dramatic function of the comic relief of the porter scene . I provided historical background on some of the Porter's allusions to the trials of those involved in the Gunpowder Plot . I further assisted Joshua in interpreting the extended metaphors in the soliloquies .Last, we reviewed Johua's revised homework answers based on my comments to his study study guide questions.
