We "tossed" the following lines from the Scottish Tragedy (we can't use the original title in class because we are turning the class into our theatre, and the play's title carries a curse).

We checked out copies of the play.

Here are the lines we tossed:

Fair is foul, and foul is fair… (1.1.12)

So foul and fair a day I have not seen. (1.3.39)

If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me

Without my stir (1.3.157-158)

Stars, hide your fires;

Let not light see my black and deep desires. (1.4.57-58)

Yet do I fear thy nature;

It is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness… (1.5.16-17)

Come, you spirits

That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here… (1.5.47-48)

Look like th’ innocent flower,

But be the serpent under ‘t. (1.5.76-78)

If it were done when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well

It were done quickly. (1.7.1-2)

HOMEWORK:

Writers need to bring the photograph(s) of themselves that they brought last Friday.

For Wednesday students should read the introductory materials to the play.
