TMOV: Act 4 (all of it!)

Break into three groups (Portia, Shylock, Antonio). 

What are the major speeches of your character?
What do we learn about your character in each speech?
How does your character change over the course of Act 4?
What new insights are gained into your character?
How has your opinion changed about your character (if at all)?
How does Shakespeare make your character a sympathetic one?

Discuss once groups are done.

Larger question for class --> with whom do you sympathize?
