Class reviews the 3 main purposes and how MORD is to tell a story or entertain, but for full credit for question 1, students must tell me what he was telling the story about or how he was trying to entertain his audience. For 2, the class discusses specific Gothic elements in MORD. Class is told not to just list Gothic elements in any story, but specifically what is Gothic in this story. For 3, the class discusses many potential symbols: Prospero: ignorance, denial   masks: denial   tripods which expired when the people died: life  window: freedom, lack thereof     clock: reality, remaining life, inevitable death. The meaning of the 7 rooms is discussed again, this time students are reminded they must mention each room and how it relates to their theory of the deep meaning behind the rooms.
