You are the director of a production of The Merchant of Venice. Your first decision is how to stage the play. The answer to "What is X?" is the manner in which you will stage the play (based on some points raised in class today). "What does X do?" pertains not just to how the play will be presented, how issues will be portrayed, but also in how audiences may respond to the production. Finally, "What will X mean?" based upon these choices, again, to actors as well as the audiences. As usual, resopnd to at least two journals and to at least one of the responses to your journal.
