Act 11.i
Where are we? (island)
How does Alonso respond to Gonzalo’s counsel? (recieves it like "cold porridge")
Can you find a pun? (dollar/dolor, pocket up, temperance)
Who wins the bet?  Antonio or Sebastian?
What hint do they get that things are not normal? (their garments hold "freshness and gloss")
What is King Alonso most upset about? (pg. 59 - his son and daughter both lost to him)
What do you note about Sebastian’s attitude in general, but also pg. 61? (lines 131& 145)
What do you think of G’s Golden Age?  (see side note on pg. 62)
Who is the more evil of the two: Antonio or Sebastian?  support your answer (line 230, line 316, 339)
White linguistic tool does Shakespeare use to end this particular scene?!  (heroic couplets)
