What is a binary opposition? 

1. Make a list of binary oppositions from this Charles Dickens extract

1. Read through this document 'Everything you need to know...' and scroll down to 'Playwright's Techniques' 

2. Read through Act 1, Scene 2 text (with modern translation)  Pick out as many of these techniques as you can, (especially binary oppositions.)

If, yes Then he cuts somebodies hair who cuts his own hair.
