Dog imagery is often used to describe the fact that people are all different-
Provide students with copies of Macbeth's speech Act III, i beginning "Aye, in the catalogue ye go for men;" and also Edgar's speech from King Lear III,vi beginning "Avaunt, you curs." The second seems to be literal but in the light of reading Macbeth's speech how does it alter the meaning of Edgar's speech?
Ask students to explain what the two characters are saying and to discuss how using the animal imagery helps to add colour to their words.
