POSSIBLE ESSAY QUESTIONS
 * HELPFUL DEFINITIONS...**
 * **Static** - character has very few traits, often stereotypical (think black and white TV)
 * **Dynamic** - character has many, sometimes contradictory traits - believable and true to life (think color TV)
 * **Flat** - doesn't change, grow or learn (earth is flat)
 * **Round** - changes, grows and learns (earth is fla...no, wait...it's round!)
 * **Indirect** - the writer reveals information about a character and his personality through that character's thoughts, words, and actions, along with how other characters respond to that character, including what they think and say about him.
 * **Direct** -the writer makes direct statements about a character's personality and tells what the character is like.
 * **Verbal Irony** - sarcasm, what is said is not what is meant.
 * ** Substitution ** – words that sound similar to others are substituted - Olivia, speaking with Toby said the word “lethargy,” meaning not energized, but he thought she said “lechery,” meaning gross indulgence in carnal pleasure. 1.5.114
 * **Homonyms** – words that sound exactly the same, but are spelled differently - Examples are pale/pail, die/dye, steal/steel, bear/bare, hart/heart, deer/dear, ladder/latter, etc. “I am too much in the son.” Hamlet 1.2.67
 * **Double meanings** – when one word means several things, for example: will, lie, crown, present, rail, suit, knot, can, stitches, leaf, leave
 * 1) In 3.1.31, Feste describes himself as a “corrupter of words.” How do Feste—and Shakespeare—‘corrupt’ words for comedic dialogue in the play?
 * 2) Explain how irony is at work when Viola (as Cesario) says, “I have one heart . . . and that no woman has, nor never none shall mistress be of it save I alone” after Olivia tells Cesario that she loves him.
 * 3) What is William Shakespeare’s purpose in making characters **__APPEAR__** to be crazy when they are actually completely normal? What does he gain by using this technique?
 * 4) Explain which character has the purest love for someone else and explain why.
