We finally really begin\xa0Antony and Cleopatra, discussing Plutarch's interest in character, and Shakespeare's, and what makes a tragic character interesting since we know what the plot will be.\xa0 Aristotle on pity and terror again: usually the protagonist or main is someone innocent or\xa0at worst someone like ourselves: not so in\xa0Macbeth.\xa0 After which we start analyzing the opening scene, with comparisons to\xa0Lear and to\xa0Hamlet\xa0as well (on the quantification of love).\xa0 Many corny jokes.
