Fri. Dec. 2, 2016: Merchant of Venice Act One Reading

Today, you were instructed to keep a glossary (stapled loose-leaf paper that you can keep in the pages of the play), a writing implement and the play The Merchant of Venice, at every reading class.
I then assigned reading roles.
We then began reading the play. We got up to Act 1, Scene 1,  line 140 (bottom of page 15).  If you were not here, you need to answer the following questions to assure that you are understanding of what has happened so far. These are to be submitted on the day you return to school.

Study Questions -- Act 1

Answer each question thoroughly and fully. Write down the act, scene, and line references to note where you have found the textual evidence of your answers.

1.      What are Antonio’s concerns about Antonio?

2.      Why do they think Antonio is acting the way he is?

3.      What dangers is Antonio possibly facing (be detailed)?
