What is an outcast?
Have you ever been cast out of a group because of race, gender or physical difference?
How did it make you feel?
Have you ever cast anyone out of your group? Why?
Compare the character of the Phantom with outcasts in the following works:
- The Tempest by William Shakespeare
- The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
- The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
- Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Paradise Lost by John Milton
- The Inferno by Dante
- A separate piece by John Knowles
- The Book of Genesis
- 1984 by George Orwell
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
- Beowulf
- Grendel by John Gardner
- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Write and act out a skit in which someone is unable to attend a play or a movie because they are confined to a wheelchair, or a student is barred from a club because of gender, race or religion.
Has seeing The Phantom of the Opera changed the way you feel about outcasts?
In what way?
