Write a short essay (1000 words) that defends a thesis you developed through a close critical reading\/analysis of one (or two) literary works listed in this week’s module and supported by at least two secondary sources. Do not confuse \u201ccritical analysis\u201d with \u201cplot summary\u201d; the goal is to develop, sustain, and advance a thesis based on a critique of the primary text but supported in part by at least two secondary source.   A list of potential topics is below. <\/p>\n

  1. Analyze key characters from one or more plays in this book. What motivates these characters? Point to specific moments in the play to make your case<\/li>\n
  2. Write an analysis essay in which you single out an element of one or more plays for examination- character, plot, setting, theme, dramatic irony, tone, language, symbolism, conventions, or any other element. Try to relate this element to the play as a whole. For example, \u201cThe Function of Teiresias in <\/span>Oedipus the King,<\/em>\u201d \u201cImagery of Poison in Othello,\u201d etc.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. From a play you have enjoyed, choose a passage that strikes you as difficult, worth reading closely. Try to pick a passage not longer than about 20 lines. Explicate it- give it a close, sentence-by sentence reading- and explain how this small part of the play relates to the whole. For instance, any of the following passages might be considered memorable (and essential to their plays):<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
