Before Wednesday, choose one scene from the play, any scene that speaks to you -- that you find interesting, confusing, challenging -- write at least 15 questions that your scene raises. Try to relate your questions to the themes listed below.
The struggle; Isolation; Adulthood; Self-interest; Meaning /
knowing; Suffering; Patience; Oppression; Backstabbing; Deceiving; Confusion;
Uncertainty; Nature of men; Friendship / companionship; Poverty; Mental
hardship; Redemption / salvation; Language and how it's used / hope birth and
death
You do not need to respond to the questions listed below. You can, however, use them as a guide to help shape your own questions.

·
Why is Lucky’s speech in Act I and not in Act
II? What comes before and after it?
