let's look at the following lines from yesterday--Write them on the back of your worksheet:

Macbeth--Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see

Lady Macbeth--Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't

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:
