Homework for Thursday, Dec. 8

Read and annotate Act 4 of Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. You do not have a writing assignment for this reading.

Begin thinking about the speech explication that is due Friday, Dec. 16. The assignment is described in full in the document posted to the right (under Syllabus and Assignments). You'll notice that this assignment has one or two small but possibly significant variations from what I presented in class. Here are the eight speeches you can choose from:

Hal, Act 1, scene 2, ll. 175-197
Hotspur, Act 1, scene 3, ll. 160-189
Hal and Falstaff, Act 2, scene 4, ll. 411-442
Henry IV, Act 3, scene 2, ll. 94-129
Hal, Act 3, scene 2, ll. 130-160
Falstaff, Act 4, scene 2, ll. 11-43
Falstaff, Act 5, scene 1, ll. 128-140
Falstaff, Act 5, scene 3, ll. 112-127
