Monday

B-day: Make it YOUR business to turn in double entry journals on The Metamorphosis.

A-day meets again on Tuesday. A-day's assignment: Choose one of the following, and, after reading Act II, respond in about a page:

1. How does the parade of suitors reflect on the play's theme of cultural difference? See Nerissa's reaction to Gratiano. What does each woman's instant reaction to these local boys say of cultural difference?
2. Look at the little affair between Lorenzo and Jessica. What do you think of this? Of Shylock's reaction? Who has been wronged? Who is the wrongdoer? What role do you anticipate this storyline will play in the outcome of the play?
