Word Trace, Part II

• Use a good online dictionary (Oxford is the best) and look up you word. Read all of the definitions. How does that enhance your understanding of the passages? Does Shakespeare make use of the different shades of meaning the word has?
• Replace your word with a closely related word. How does that change the meaning of the passages you have looked at? Look at each instance individually, and look at all of them taken as a whole.
• Are there literary devices/techniques/elements associated with the word? Is the word associated with a particular symbol or motif?
