Assignment 4A: Close Reading
Your first assignment in the creation of your Drama Analysis Essay is to choose one of the assigned readings for this module, reread it closely, keeping in mind the concepts of critical reading discussed in class, and then answer the following questions to help generate ideas for your Drama Analysis:
Who is the “hero” or protagonist of this play?
What is the hero’s main struggle? Is it an external or internal conflict?
What lessons did the hero learn from their struggle? What are the major ways in which they changed or grew as a character?
What era (time period) is the play set in? Did the cultural values of this time impact the action of the play? If so, how?
Where physically is the play set? Does the setting act as a “character” in the play? If so, how?
Is there any imagery or any references the play uses to tell the reader something? Are there any major symbols?
Are there any significant things the characters aren’t saying (subtext)?
What is the dominant theme of this piece?
How do you know this theme exists?
What insights, if any, can be revealed by applying different critical lenses?
In answering these questions, you should demonstrate a thoughtful reflection on the piece, including key takeaways, aspects you agree or disagree with or were particularly struck by, and important questions for future consideration. This can be done in the free-flowing style of a pre-writing activity rather than the formal formatting of an MLA essay.
