Final Term Paper (Click the title for the full assignment!)
This essay was assigned in my Shakespeare class taught by Dr. Erin Kelly. This essay prompt asked us to create an original argument about 2-3 of Shakespeares plays based off of common elements he uses. These standards require that we work with works of literature from the cannon and analyze the various literary elements and explain the meaning coming from these elements which this assignment also required. I chose to discuss a common theme in two of Shakespeare’s plays. Additionally one of the standards asks us to demonstrate response to feedback, so I included the version in which I revised from my professors feedback.
