Hey

Does anyone know how we are supposed to discuss techniques...or what they are asking for if they ask to discuss techniques...

i just know that language used is powerful etc etc..... but i dont really know what to say abt powerplay in A&C other than summarising the text..

Any help will be appreciated ! Thanks!

hi!
sorri i dont have much time so this will be really brief

caesar dominates the converstaion...in the first scene we see both caesar and lepidus this occurs
also when a messenger enters, they/he (forgot how many) ignore lepidus and address caesar

caesar's language is very authoritative and speaks facts as opposed to antony who is very emotional, ...contrast 3:13:207-214 to 4:1:12-18
caesar gives orders whereas antony is trying to "stir up" his men...

techniques as in dialogue, dramatic techniques coz its a play check out stage directions...theres a scene in the beginning where characters enter from opposite sides of the stage
sorri i dont know the scene references
hope it helps!

hey thanks for that!

but im just wondering... do we just talk abt the dialogue when it comes to techniques? are there any other techniques used to show powerplay?

Thanks!!
