Today we were put into different groups and told to work on scene 2 again, but really focus on the comical elements of the script, and really focus on other Brechtirian techniques. I was with Taylor, Warren and Owen. I played Eilif, Warren played The General, Taylor played the Cook and Owen played Mother Courage. To focus on comical aspects, I put on a very strong Scottish accent and played everything over the top, and I believe I understood and grasped the comical aspects. For example, one of the lines is 'I put my business foot forward' which is obviously a figure of speech, but on that line I put physically put my foot forward to show that Eilif actually thinks he has a 'business foot' which clearly shows his stupidity.
