21/02/08 Act 2 Scene 2

During yesterdays lesson we first arranged the seats like a theatre from the time of the Merchant of Venice with peasants at the front, standing and rich people at the back, sitting then we read Act 2 scene 2 and we seen how Launcelot played a cruel trick on his father, Gobbo, by telling him his son(Launcelot) had died. He then convinces Gobbo that he is indeed Launcelot.
Also during this scene we seen Bassanio tell Gratiano that he was far too loud to come with him on his trip to "woooo" (< Mr Sharpe's Favourite), Porchia and the scene ends with Gratiano begging Bassanio to come and Bassanio telling him maybe.

After reading the the scene we watched the same scene on the video although what we had read was an awful lot longer than the video.
