    We have talked in classs about Shakespeare's use of language and several ways that it adds meaning to his work.  Please describe one way that Shakespeare uses language effectively and how that adds to meaning to what we read.  Make sure you use a specific example.

    In the play we are about to read one of the most famous lines is 
    "The course of true love ne'er did run smooth."  What do you think this statement means?  In what ways could "true love" be complicated?

    We've spent a fair amount of time reading about our friend Odysseus and his adventures.  Do you think he acts like a hero?  Why or why not?
