Read the play The Importance of Being Ernest and respond to the following discussion question, utilizing the theatre 1000 vocabulary terms from textbook that are listed in the discussion question.
Discussion Question:
In this, our first discussion on a play we’ve read this term, I want you to focus on the definitions of dramatic elements that you’ve just learned. Use that vocabulary to come up with examples of the elements (givens, actions, objectives, obstacles, dramatic conflict, etc) in the play itself. This is the best way to start to understand a script, on its own terms. I hope that this discussion serves as a model for the play analysis assignments you’ll do later, on comparing and contrasting the plays we’re going to read throughout the class.

The film, Birth of a Nation (1915) is a silent film by director D.W. Griffith who pioneered film techniques and changed the way a film’s narrative told its story. Because of this, and the inclusion of some of the most famous stars of the time, the movie had a huge commercial success and was a popular film.
However, the movie is racist and unapologetic about its attitudes, which are those of a white Southerner, raised in the 19th century, unable to see African-Americans as fellow beings of worth and rights.
Another part of Birth of a Nation’s legacy is that it was successfully used as a recruiting tool for the Ku Klux Klan which had a huge resurgence due in large part because of this film.
