Conflict established – again through secondary characters, family or financial problems reasons that Olivia will go into hiding, dressed as a man Events leading to the discovery that her brother is dead Usually some music before scene begins Main characters are usually royalty or very wealthy with “subjects”: maids, nannies, butlers, guardsmen, etc. Play on words Different characters Opening the scene, introducing the characters Introducing a problem Introducing a lover Set up the mood Speak in verse Use old words Characters interrupting Servants Kings and Lords Somebody dies A Ghost appears A plot is formed, either to woo someone or to kill someone Someone goes in disguise A misunderstanding Fast paced |
