61. Anything underlined needs to be copied in your notes. YOU CAN USE PAPER OR YOUR COMPUTER TO TAKE NOTES. MAKE SURE YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION; I WILL NOT WAIT ON THOSE WHO ARE DOING OTHER THINGS.

63. I DON’T UNDERSTAND SHAKESPEARE!!!!?!?!111 In English Language, the order of words is important: “The dog bit the boy.” vs. “The boy bit the dog.” Shakespeare rearranges words to create rhythm-it’s poetry! Characters will have their own speech patterns- Romeo often speaks in couplets. He often places verb before subject Instead of “He Goes”=Goes He. Instead of Does he go?=Go does he? Use No Fear Shakespeare to help with difficult lines

64. Ready for some history?! You’ll need to take notes on the following slides

65. Plutarch Greek historian, biographer, and essayist Wrote the biographical Life of Caesar which was the main source for Shakespeare’s play Plutarch was not concerned with history so much as the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destiny of men

66. William Shakespeare English poet and playwright Wrote The Tragedy of Julius Caesar which depicts the 44 BC conspiracy against the Roman dictator Although the title of the play is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the most visible character in its action The central psychological drama is Brutus’ struggle between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism, and friendship

69. Lupercalia cont’d In Roman mythology the god Lupercus is the god of shepherds The festival celebrating him was on the Ides (middle) of February During the festival young men ran naked to the street striking at people with a whip It was believed that if a woman was struck by a whip she would be fertile even if she was previously barren

70. Lupercalia cont’d The Lupercalia festival was partly in honor of Lupa, the she-wolf who Roman legend says suckled the infant orphans, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome This explains the name Lupercalia which means “Wolf Festival” The festival was celebrated near the cave of Lupercal on the Palatine Hill (the central hill where Rome was traditionally founded to purify new life in the Spring Some suspect the modern holiday Valentine’s Day is derived from Lupercalia
