Definition of a foil (for the quiz)
Foil-In literature, a foil is a character that shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualities of another character with the objective to highlight the traits of the other character. The term foil, though generally being applied for a contrasting character, may also be used for any comparison that is drawn to portray a difference between two things.
What we observe in literature very often is that a foil is a secondary character who contrasts with the major character to enhance the importance of the major character. (FROM http://literarydevices.net/foil)

Copy this definition
Comic relief---a humorous scene, incident, or speech that is included in serious drama to provide a break from emotional intensity. Because it breaks the tension, it allows the audience to think about the plot events before, and prepare for emotional events after. The sharp contrasts provided by comic relief intensify the themes of the work. The drunken porter in Act II, Scene 3 provides this comic relief.

Characterizing Macbeth
1. Copy down the definitions below (copy what is in red):
Dramatic irony---occurs when the audience knows something the characters do not. Because of this understanding, the words of the characters take on a different meaning. This can create intense suspense or humor.
REMEMBER THE EXAMPLE OF THE SCARY MOVIE.
YouTube Explanation of Dramatic Irony (we will watch this when we are done copying everything)
In Macbeth it is achieved a great deal of the time through asides.
Aside-a remark or passage by a character in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play. (I always think: a comment to "the side")
Often times in the movie, the character looks right at the camera like he or she is talking to us.
SO WHAT DRAMATIC IRONY HAS BEEN PRESENTED SO FAR???
2. We will read pages: 337-341 (Act I scenes 4-5)
3. Take out your chart from yesterday: let's fill out some more information on Macbeth:

Please copy the following notes that are in RED
Mood-- a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions. Usually, mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it creates an emotional situation that surrounds the readers. Mood can be developed through setting, theme, tone and diction, imagery, etc.
*After we read ACT I, SCENE I, let's use the list of words for mood to describe it and support our choice with a textual example.
Paradox- from a Greek word that means contrary to expectations, existing belief or perceived opinion. It is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory or silly but may include a latent truth (basically, doesn't seem to make sense but it does). A paradox is often used to make a reader think over an idea in innovative way.
*After we read ACT I, SCENE I, we will attempt to identify the paradox and explain what we think it means/predicts for the reader.
******What is Shakespeare trying to foreshadow in scene i with these two literary devices?****

tragedy--presents the downfall of a dignified character who is involved in historically or socially significant events. This fall is usually caused by a flaw in his character.
tragic hero--the main character, dignified who has a downfall based mainly on a poor character trait. He/she evokes both pity and fear in readers because the audience realizes the struggles faced by him are necessary parts of human life.
tragic flaw--whatever is wrong with his character that causes his destruction--usually leads to an error in judgment.

Today's Agenda: Copy the answer to #5
Start by finishing these questions: (if you lost your wrksht. I have a few half-copies)
5. Why does Skloot choose this section of the Nuremberg Code?
Skloot quotes the part of the Nuremberg Code that talks about “voluntary consent” (p. 131)
being necessary for human experimentation—testing research on humans. Skloot uses this
portion of the code to advance her purpose that informed consent is important when
experimenting on people. Skloot also notes there were “rules protecting laboratory animals” (p.
131) but not for “humans until Nuremberg” (p. 131).
6. Why did the Nuremberg Code never pass a law in the US?
7-8. Explain the two perspectives present in the case brought before
the Board of Regents? Which one supports Skloot’s purpose?
9.-10.Compare the case of B. Bjoklund and Southam. What happened to

- was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama. They were told that they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.
- The 40-year study was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards, primarily because researchers knowingly failed to treat patients appropriately.
- led to major changes in U.S. law and regulation on the protection of participants in clinical studies. Now studies require informed consent communication of diagnosis, and accurate reporting of test results. (from wikipedia)
