Act Four, Scene One- Line Study
- A4S1 Line 70-83 (Black Pg. 151, Blue Pg.87) Antonio gives us three short images of how useless any attempt by Bassanio to save his life will be
- What are they?
- What do they tell us about one of Shakespeare's interests
- Do you think this is an effective way of demonstrating the problem.
- Each example is an extreme and impossible, what influence does this have on how you expect the rest of the scene to develop.
- A4S1 L90-100 (Black Pg. 88-, Blue Pg.151-152) , Shylock uses vivid comparisons when he wants to make a point.
- What example does he use to illustrate the fact that the pound of flesh is his: ‘tis mine and I will have it’
- It is much longer comparison than the three used by Antonio but do you think it is more striking/effective/convincing?
