Stretch Break 9: Successful Exposition

Some exposition proves successful, as in Shakespeare's plays. A character enters scene with information and tells about what happened without stopping the story. A few examples include:

- Hamlet - ACT I, sc. ii/iii
- The Tempest - ACT I, sc. ii
- Julius Caesar

Non-Shakespeare examples include:

- Monty Python - cheese
- Merchant of Venice - Shylock
