1 Theatre History Midterm Greek Theatre (worth 120 points) Dear Student This test is divided into sections; Medea Questions, Lysistrata Questions, General Questions about Greek theatre, two sets of matching questions and finally a series of essay questions. You are required to complete 5 essay questions. However, you may complete more for extra credit. Each multiple choice or true/false question is worth two points. One question asks for more than one answer, so each answer is a point each. Matching questions are worth 5 points each Essay questions are worth 10 points each. However, because I am offering extra credit, Etudes will show them as being worth 5 points each. They are worth 10 and the full credit will be given when I correct the work. I reserve the right to give more than 10 points for exceptional work. I also reserve the right to give 0 points for inferior work or for work that is simply copied without your personal input. These essays are not formal, you are telling me what you know and or think about a given topic. Have fun with them and they will be easy. Some questions are harder than others, but to make the system work I needed to give them all the same 5-point value. If you attempt harder questions, I will be easier than I would be on easier questions that we have covered in class. So you are encouraged to take risks, choose thoughtful questions and start writing about something you don't know much about. By the time you finish, you will know more. You have no time limits, except the due date. You are allowed multiple retakes. This will allow you to get the highest possible score on your multiple-choice questions. Unfortunately, it will not help you with your essays as the computer does not grade them, I do. You are free to use books, notes and internet searches, but all of your work must be in your own words and if you use sources, please site them. It does not have to be in MLA or APA format, but just site your sources. Please work alone and do not colaborate with others on this exam. Any questions regarding the exam can be ed to me. If it is very general, such as you do not understand a question, post it on the message board because other people will probably have the same question. You can also ask in class on Monday. Good luck to you all. JG

According to Aristotle, a tragic hero should * be of noble birth * be initially neither more good or evil than normal people * meet their fate due to some "tragic flaw" which is usually an error in judgment * have a common tragic flaw, usually "hubris" or excessive pride, which leads to their downfall * make a discovery or "learn a lesson" usually as a result of their downfall (Creon in Antigone for example) * face a turn in fortune * face an inescapable fate (Oedipus with the oracle) * A final quality is that through watching the tragic hero, the audience should experience catharsis. They pity the hero and they fear facing a similar fate. Through watching the tragedy, the
10 audience learns a lesson and fear and pity is purged, resulting in a cathartic experience. Aristotle considered Oedipus a perfect example of a tragic hero. Using Aristotle's qualities of a tragic hero, identify who is the tragic hero of Medea and why. Or you may wish to argue there is no tragic hero is Medea and you will explain why. You will not be docked for your opinion but you will lose point for not fully explaining and supporting your answer. 34. Imagine you are a Cornith lawyer you have a choice of representing Medea or Jason in a court battle after the events of the play have happened. To help you decide, summarize Medea's argument against Jason below and attempt to justify why she did what she did. Then summarize Jason's argument. Chose who you think has he best case. Which case would you choose and why? Briefly write out both sides of the case and summarize at the end who has the strongest case and who you will represent and why? (You wish to not chose the one with the strongest case, it is up to you) Questions to consider: Was Medea driven to do what she did? Or do her actions outweigh any harm that Jason may have caused? Is the love of a child more sacred than the vows between husband and wife? Was Medea poorly treated because she was a woman? A foreigner? Because she was getting a little old? Explore and discuss. 35. Describe in detail a whole production cycle for the City Dionysus from the end of the previous year's festival to about two weeks after the festival you are planning. Include: Who and what will be performed on each of the five days How the plays will be selected Explain aspects of the rehearsal process for the tragedies or the comedies
11 36. From the essay "Women's Parts Played by Men in the Roman Theatre" by Goethe and "The Legacy of Goethe's Mimetic Stance" summarize some of arguments in support of "Goethe's basic premise-that in performance men make better women" Include Goethe's arguments but also include some other arguments from Cocteau and Jarry provided in the second essay. Do you believe Goethe's argument has some validity in the theatre? Why or why not? Lesley Ferris argues that this is an enduring example of women hating in the theatre. Do you agree with this? Why or why not? 37. You are on vacation with a friend in Greece visiting Ancient Greek Theatres. Your friend notices these seats in the front row that are different from the rest of the seats in the theatre. Write below everything you could tell your friend about these seats and why they are different.
12 38. You get a summer job at a museum. A tourist comes to you and asks you to explain something about this image. Based on your theatre history knowledge, write down all the things you could tell them. What kind of actor are they (Tragic, Comic) and what clues are there to indicate this? What role might they have had in the play? Tell them about his costume and what it means. Try to give as much detail as you can.
13
14 39. Discuss the comic elements in Lysistrata. What situations and relationships are inherently comic and why? 40. Using Lysistrata as a model, discuss the potential benefits and liabilities of using comedy for an antiwar play. 41. Explain aspects of stage design (scenic, costume, sound, lights) in Ancient Greece including Pinakes, Periakotoi, Ekkyklema and Mechane; the use of the skene and orchestra; light and sound, and any other aspects that helped with the design aspects of the production. (You may attach drawings to show your understanding and better illustrate your explanation. Remember, you are free to Google and do research for answering the question but please answer in your own words. 42. Describe and discuss the Ancient Greek's treatment of violent and aggressive acts in plays and on stage. Provide examples from at least three plays. Does the portrayal of violence differ in tragedy and comedy? How is violence presented on stage? (Though action, text, symbols, special effects) Are the Greek methods still relevant for theatre productions today? How would you stage these acts to a modern audience? Same? Different? Discuss
