My Mugged Response
In lesson 1 we demonstrated our perception of Dig and Marky through physicalising there characters. The aspects of the drama medium we used were, freeze frame, improvisation, thought track, mime, movement and gesture. As a class we read and comprehended pages 5-21. They’re about Markey and dig interchanging there burglarized items. After we read through the play, sir split us into 2 groups. One group: Markys, One group: Digs. We had to show a scene from their morning routine (in the shop). I got put into the group of Dig, I interpreted Dig in a behaviour which was to procrastinate. I conducted Dig in lifeless ,manner. I showed that dig was lazy by my use of drama medium (movement) and acting skills. My actions were very postponing and sluggish letting the audience know , my character was extremely careless. I played Dig in a careless, lifeless manor, because from the play we know that he is very self-centred and in ones self. In lesson 6 we had to summarise how each character might feel about the murder. In lesson 6, we used guilt spilt staging, voice & contrasts, We used one of the forms of stimuli of ‘play scripts’ . In the play script we explored the line ‘ I told him not to come back didn’t I mel’ to understand how all the characters feel guilty. The characters feel guilty because marky has been murdered. All the characters feel conscience-stricken and guilt ridden. The script changes throughout the ending of the play it raises the tension by shortening the dialogue. The characters speech becomes shortened and there words become more scarce and sudden . We then did a police interview by the use of drama medium ; split staging. Split staging can use two or more different levels, and the audience can see characters better if one group is behind the other and using the raised level. Me and shea was the police officers interviewing dig and sophie which in this case was Hodan and Arthur. We asked them questions such as , how do

    1. Each Act takes happens in the same place. The entire play takes place in the jury room of a New York City court of law in 1957 during a very hot summer afternoon. It is a large, dull, minimalistic room with three windows in the brick wall which the skyline of New York City can be seen. There is also a wash room and lavatory off the jury room. There is a large, scarred table in the centre with twelve chairs around it. There are pencils pads and an ashtray on the table. There is also a water cooler in the room with plastic cups. The dullness of the room may signify and provide a mood for the act and is evident in the interactions between the jurors. The Twelve jurors are all seemingly awkward and uneasy towards each other once they enter the room.…

    The jury is sent to a hot, crowded room to deliberate. Before any formal discussion, they cast a vote. Eleven of the jurors vote “guilty.” Only one juror votes “not guilty.” That juror, who is known in the script as Juror #8 is the protagonist of the play. As the tempers flare and the arguments begin, the audience learns about each member of the jury. And slowly but surely, Juror #8 guides the others toward a verdict of “Not Guilty.”…

    It is inevitable that the jurors own personal experiences affect their opinion on the innocence of the defendant. It is these personal experiences, which threaten the defendants right to ‘a fair trial’ at the danger of a juror’s personal bias ‘obscur[ing] the truth.’ Juror 3 is depicted as the juror with the most prejudice throughout the play, consistent with the vote of ‘guilty’ as he relates the defendant to his own son who he describes as a ‘rotten kid.’ This illustrates the danger that personal bias has on the justice system, as the defendant is being adjudicated by juror 3 on his age and gender rather than the merits of the case. Prejudice is also displayed by juror 10 who see’s the accused as ‘trash’ due to his ‘slums’ background, this…

    While the main theme of Miller's play interprets this time of political unrest, several smaller themes are also emphasized. The author implies that society cannot settle for just arresting and punishing criminals when they call attention to themselves. Instead, there is an occasional "witch hunt" where people are sought out and punished when they are, in reality, completely innocent (Goldstone, "Introduction," 19). This becomes evident in The Crucible when one realizes that the officials could have stopped listening to the girls…

    Reading a drama is like going to see a play but instead of watching the play unfold with your eyes, you see it unfold in your head. To read a play you must follow a series of steps so you can fully understand what you’re reading and so you won’t get confused.

    “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell observes the different reactions characters have due to a murder case. Each of the characters emotions are captivated within the dialog and fundamentally an understanding of the state of mind that lies beneath the scene. The play explains the psyche of the suspect who feels justified due to their past experiences, the sympathy shown from a friend who wasn’t always there, the difference in thought process amongst genders, and the empathetic struggle between law and justice. Glaspell explores how the understanding of a situation depends on the character’s personal relations with the suspect, and in turn how this affects their judgment of a person’s actions.…

    Where guilt causes us to feel powerless because after the dirty deed is done what else is there to prove. So, when dealing with guilt our minds aren’t stable, everything seems confusing or even causing us to feel a great amount pressure. When dealing with these types of feeling it won’t help us make the right decisions, but causes us to just want to find the easiest way out of the situation you feel so guilty about. For example when John Proctor was planned to be hanged he was asked to confess but he didn’t. Overall, the play has greatly expressed guilt and how it can greatly impact a person's’…

    When deflected from focusing on themselves and how they only ever robbed the rich, the convicts imagine what they would do if they had money, "if I was rich I'd eat myself sick" (Liz Morden, p.61, Act 1 ) which brings them together. The play means that for once the convicts feel equal to one of the Lieutenants (Ralph) and for a short amount of time they are not treated like animals. In the first act, Captain Phillip says that the play "will remind them that there is more to life than crime, punishment" (p.30), the audience realises here that a potential escape from a very harsh reality for some of the convicts is through theatre *('a play is a world in itself')*. Towards the end of the first act we also see some of the convicts finding both friendships and conflicts through rehearsing the play. One of the characters is arguably the most influenced by the play, Liz Morden. She is the most unlucky and feared convict that plays one of the main characters in their performance of 'The Recruiting Officer'. She is being put on trial and scheduled to be hung for something that she didn't do. She takes to acting very well and it clearly…

What begins as an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
