10/12 Class Notes
- Prose: Book writing, NO rhythm, NO rhyming, looks like paragraphs (like a textbook), happens during a break down of order, in the lower class, and change in pace/tone (comic switching to dramatic)
-Ex. Lancelet’s monologue
-Ex. Nerissa’s and Portia’s conversation in act 1 (Nerissa is lower class)
- Blank Verse: Unrhymed iambic pentameter
- Couplet: Rhymed writing
- Heroic Couplet: Rhymed iambic pentameter
- Pun: Same or similar sounding word being used/understood in 2 or more ways, for dramatic OR comic purposes
- Malapropism: Mrs. Malaprop, similar words used in wrong context (stupid), for comic purposes
Portia -
-being forced to marry an upper class man (wealthy), her dad’s dead, the suitor has to choose the correct casket (box) of gold, silver, and lead
-her father BOUND Portia to the promise that if the man didn’t choose write than he would never marry again (he will give his word)
-she does not want to get attached to them so she picks out flaws in them, she is trying not to get hurt
