CHARACTER COMMITTEES A Midsummer Night's Dream

Each pair will take a character and follow that character(s) throughout the play. (Those students with more than one need to focus on each and distinguish different personalities.) The assignment requires two products: a) the written notes to share with your peers b) a five minutes presentation summarizing your findings and conclusions. CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS:

a) Lysander b) Demetrius c) Helena d) Hermia e) Oberon f) Titania g) Theseus h) Hippolyta

i) Egeus j) Robin/Puck k) Quince l) Snug m) Bottom n) Flute o) Snout p) Starveling

1) List five character traits

2) Find at least one quote/example from the play that supports the trait

3) List the character's main objectives. (find at least two)

4) Find at least one quote/example from the play that supports each objective.

5) Describe how the character talks—in what verse pattern, in what style. Find a

sentence that demonstrates this style.

6) Create a life-size cut-out of the character from butcher paper. Make sure the clothing

is representative of the period in which the play occurred. (Partner up with other(s)

that have your character so you only create ONE cut out)

7) Type your report (one for each group) and email or bring to me in an electronic

version or Monday morning BEFORE school, so that I can copy it for others in class.

Pretty soul! she durst not lie Near this lack-love, this kill-courtesy. Churl, upon thy eyes I throw All the power this charm doth owe. When thou wakest, let love forbid Sleep his seat on thy eyelid: So awake when I am gone; For I must now to Oberon.
