We finished Act 1, then discussed a few issues:
Pathetic fallacy – when, in literature or in art, the weather and the environment mirror the emotional state of the primary characters
ie in a crappy 80s music video when “the girl” leaves to go to the airport, the singer will sit in the casement window and watch and rain will go down the glass before him
Certainly we see it in Macbeth – witches get thunder and lightning, and maybe staging Lady Macbeth’s “unsex me” soliloquy would beg for similar weather
