Fourth Response, due Feb 11: The History Play


You have likely encountered Shakespearean tragedy and comedy--the black and white flags, respectively-- that would have flown over London's theaters to alert playgoers to the day's offerings.

This is perhaps the first time you have spent any time under the red flag. What do you think? Can you identify major differences between the history play and the other two genres? Are the characters treated differently? Is the tone of the play different?

    As I said in class, you can also choose to do a word study instead of this response. Details can be found in the post for the word study on this blog
