Analyzing Drama
You read two of Shakespeare’s plays in this unit: Hamlet and Twelfth Night. Choose one of these two scenes to reread:
Hamlet, Act III, Scene i
Twelfth Night, Act II Scene IV
Part A
Search online to locate two different theatrical performances of the scene you chose. When you search, include the act and scene in your search terms.
Which two versions did you choose? Include the URL of your sources in the box below.
Part B
Now compare and contrast the techniques in the two theatrical versions you watched. Use the table to do the following:
Describe the similarities and differences between the two versions for each element of the performance.
Note how the techniques enhance or alter the audience’s experience.
Identify what meanings (shades of characterization, connotations of words, etc.) become clearer as you watch the two presentations.
Part C
Before you construct your essay, review these guidelines for organizing a compare-and-contrast essay. Read the section headed “Compare and Contrast.” Don’t forget to use transition words to show the relationships between ideas and to help your essay flow smoothly.
Use your responses from part B of the task to write an essay addressing these points:
Compare and contrast the two versions of the scene.
Analyze the effects of the techniques on the individual audiences.
Include analysis of any special adaptations made to the text (the dialogue) or the setting that distinguish each version from the original play.
