Interpret a single scene in The Merchant of Venice in three ways: Describe the scene. Include--Who is in it, what is happening, and why it's significant.
Interpret what the scene means to the plot of the play in your own words. You might have to look up some words, even some that seem used a bit differently than you're used to.
Interpret what the scene means using one of the types of literary criticism you have learned about so far this quarter--New Historical/Cultural criticism or Feminist criticism.
