Read the play
SILVIA AND JULIA
Tell the story of the Act. All the main characters and one new one have their parts in the next steps in the plot? What are those parts?
Valentine's fate and its result.
Silvia's determination and its effect. Notice how her call upon Eglamoure for knightly service brings the action into the province of Chivalry again.
Julia's office in the schemes of Protheus.
Is this Act dominated in its drift by the two women? How do they put their impress upon events?
Show how the villain Protheus is instrumental in bringing these two women together, and how this is equivalent to uniting against his evil policy, the good forces of the Play. The loyalty of Silvia to Julia considered as offsetting the falsity of Protheus to Valentine.
Queries For Discussion. Is the most actively beneficial episode in this Act also the most charming.
