Interacting in Meaningful Ways: Analyze Language
Learning Targets
• Discuss ideas in conversation about a monologue and its imagery. PI.7.1
• Analyze and explain in conversation and writing how imagery produces effects
on the reader. PI.7.6b, PI.7.8
• Evaluate and explain in conversation and writing how effectively the author uses
imagery. PI.7.7 Imagery
In the opening monologue of Twelfth Night, Shakespeare compares love to three images: music, food, and the sea. In this activity, you will analyze these images to determine what the duke is saying about love.
Read through the duke’s monologue, looking for the sensory language associated with each image. Decide whether the details are positive or negative because of the specific words chosen and enter the details and the language into the chart. Then analyze each example to understand the overall effect of the image. The image of the sea has been done for you.

The sea
