Stagecraft, Symbolism, and other Inheritance details
Below you can find a handout with the slides from today’s class. This PowerPoint goes through some of the more specific details of the play, such as stagecraft, narrative structure, music, humour and symbolism. Making reference to these types of details can really enhance the quality of an essay and can push your analysis to a higher, more complex level.
You will need to review and practice using these types of details, including finding specific references/examples to them in the text of the play, if you wish to use them.
You can download a copy of the slides here:
