Here is the compiled “Measure for Measure” Expositions and Forwards<\/p>\n
Thursday, October 30th, 2008<\/p>\n
Posted by Amy Szerlong<\/em><\/p>\n Group 3 (Erica, Sam and Amy) met during class period to begin discussing our analysis, and we ended up comparing our notes from Henry IV<\/em> on these topics to help clarify. Here's what we came up with as a culmination of handouts, our notes, and examples given in class.<\/p>\n Exposition<\/strong><\/p>\n Forwards<\/strong><\/p>\n This is as far as we got today. We are aware that these aren't the most extensive series of notes, but since none of us have had the opportunity to finish reading Measure for Measure<\/em>, we disbanded early to squeeze in some extra reading time! Additions are welcome!<\/p>\n Sunday, November 16th, 2008<\/p>\n Sam Beaver<\/p>\n Act 1, Sc. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n Essentially, this scene is presenting where we are and examining the first action of the play, which is the Duke's decision to depart. \u00a0We want to know why he is leaving, and we also are anticipating the rule of Angelo, who up to this point has been described in a very positive manner.<\/p>\n Act 1, Sc. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n These opening scenes are a lot about setting up the play for things to come, which is why some of the larger plot points are opened in these first two scenes. \u00a0There is a lot that is left unresolved, so there is a lot for the audience to be hanging on to right now. \u00a0To use ball's term, the audience is "hungry for the next."<\/p>\n Sunday, November 16th, 2008<\/p>\n Sam Beaver<\/p>\n Act 1, Sc. 3, <\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n This scene's purpose is to introduce the forward of "Hence we shall see, If power changes purpose, what our seemers be." \u00a0The Duke wishes to discover Angelo's true character through giving him the powers of the duke. \u00a0This forward wants the audience to recognize that power may very well change purpose, and they need to wait and see what the change will be.<\/p>\n Act 1 Sc. 4, <\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n Monday, November 17th, 2008<\/p>\n Sam Beaver,<\/p>\n Act 2 Sc. 1, <\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n Though this scene is mainly for the comedy of Elbow, Froth and Pompey, there are still a few major points made about the caracters of Angelo and Escalus. \u00a0As we have seen earlier, Escalus is known as the most knowledgeable man in Vienna according to the Duke. \u00a0So if he is disagreeing with Angelo's decisions, what does this say about Angelo? \u00a0Perhaps he is not as fit of a leader as they once thought..<\/p>\n Act 2 Sc. 2,<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition<\/p>\n Forward<\/p>\n Wednesday, November 12th, 2008<\/p>\n by Amy Szerlong<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Act II, Scene 3<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition: (As categorized by who knows what\u20ac\u00a6)<\/p>\n Forward:<\/p>\n Act II, Scene 4<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition:<\/p>\n Forwards:<\/p>\n So I feel as though I'm running a bit short on exposition here, especially in scene 4. If anyone has anything I missed in either category, please feel free to comment!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Wednesday, November 12th, 2008<\/p>\n <\/p>\n by Amy Szerlong Exposition and Forwards: Act III, Scene1<\/strong><\/p>\n Exposition:<\/p>\n Forwards:<\/p>\n *I am a bit confused on whether this would be an exposition or a forward, merely because I'm not sure why the Duke tells Claudio this. Although ultimately we discover that Angelo IS completely untrustworthy and sentences Claudio to death anyway, I am not sure that the Duke asks him to ready himself for death because he just wants to prepare him for the worst (if he can't come up with a plan to save him) or he is going a long with his role as the friar or if he just knows how well Angelo works, and he is revealing to the audience what a hypocritical and mean character Angelo is? Thoughts?<\/p>\n Act III, Scene 2<\/strong><\/p>\n I am having a problem with this scene because a large portion of the scene seems to be taken up with sexual innuendo and ridiculous accusations. Due to the fact that so many sexual innuendos are made, it's confusing to know whether these accusations are serious and therefore what is exposition and what is a forward – aka what actually matters. Although all of it was written with intent, and it fits in with a play that focuses so largely on (to quote Walter) "sexual tension, sexual frustration, and ethical questions regarding sex" I just am not exactly sure what to pick out and what not to. SO I thought I'd ask the class? Has anyone found any other scenes with Pompey, Elbow, and Lucio that may help the understanding of this scene? What in their previous scenes impacts this scene?
