Finish Act I if you haven't already.
If you've already finished Act I, then reread/skim over it in order to effectively complete your assignment.
Choose ONE character from Act I and answer:
What does this character want?
What is this character afraid of?
What does this character do to protect himself/herself?
What does the character say or do that reveals his/her motives?
Based on Act I, do you trust this character? Why or why not?
Turn those answers into ONE short paragraph:
Choose one character from Act I and argue whether that character is primarily motivated by fear, reputation, power, revenge, or self-preservation. Use at least TWO specific pieces of evidence from Act I to support your claim.
Suggested length: ½–1 page.
