Sorry girls I forgot to tell you that I was away in Lille this week.

Please can you use the lesson to continue annotating your play for Act 3. Some thoughts below...

Read the summary in pairs to understand the plot.
Who is Prudencia and what are the similarities and differences between her and Bernarda.
What are the major 'presagios' at the beginning of this act?
What does Bernarda mean when she states 'yo quiero buena fachada' - and at what cost?
What do you think of Bernarda's motherly vice to Angustias about how distracted Pepe appears?
Analyse Adela's words about the caballo garanon (sorry no accents available).
What other nature symbolism is on offer here?
Look at Adela's positive, inquisitive outlook compared to that of her sisters when faced with a darkened sky and stars. How does Bernarda react?
What do we learn from La Poncia and Bernarda's conversation and then from La Poncia and Criada's? un pozo de veneno- what a fab line!! Does La Poncia believe the girls are bad like criada?
<font face="inherit">What can we learn from MJosefa's </font>soliloquy<font face="inherit">?</font>
Why is Martirio at fault?
I will explain the symbolism of the colour blue next week and we will read the last act together.
