Edmond RostandA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Throughout the novel, ideas on love, physical beauty, the power of words, and the commercialization of art are implied or conveyed through character actions, movement, expression, dialogue, and monologues. To what extent are each of these topics developed in relation to the key three themes (Unrequited Love, Artistry Versus Commercialization, and The Nature of Beauty and The Mind)? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: A graphic organizer may be useful for containing reactions and suggestions, such as a simple table with a row for each topic (love, beauty, words, commercialization) and a column for each theme. Along with identifying key plot points and quotes in the narrative, it may benefit students to review a list of drama terms (e.g., monologue, soliloquy, aside, dialogue, and blocking). Providing a printed handout for students to glue into their notebooks or keep in a binder for efficient access will help students identify the various structures of the play. From there, they can make connections between the dialogue formats, themes, topics, and literary devices.
