Please choose a topic within the purview of our course that particularly interests you. You may choose any play or a combination of plays, scenes, characters, productions, etc. Inside the paper, you will have six in text quotations. Three of these quotations MUST be from the play itself. Three of these quotations must be from outside, scholarly sources. Thus, your paper will have a Works Cited page with at least four entries. (1 entry for the play, 3 separate entries for the 3 separate, outside sources.)
This paper might involve your Class Presentation insofar as you might choose a soliloquy from the play you examine to memorize or you might choose a character from the play you examine to reinterpret using costume, makeup, etc.
