As you knew before this class, Shakespearean works can be difficult for us modern folk to grasp. Differences in sentence order, word meaning, omitted letters, etc., can confuse even the most well-read students. To help understand the Bard's work, we discussed all of these elements. In your groups, you looked for examples in Shakespeare's work of his unique style of writing including variance in meter, archaic language, omissions/contractions, and "Shakespearean" sentence order.
Your assignment:
A. Choose one (best) example of each of the 4 style elements listed above that you found in your excerpt
B. Explain how each example contributes to the meaning of that piece - whether it is the meaning of the entire excerpt or if it contributes to the importance of one particular line
You can answer in one to two sentences for each example, so you will have a total of 4 items to discuss, one for each style element.
Be sure to post this correctly so that you receive credit!
