Read King Lear act 1-5 and write a thesis driven paper using 2 Peer reviewed sources.
You may write a close reading of an extended passage or write an analysis of a particular issue or problem in the play. Your paper should be 5-7 pages long (at least one word on page 6) and formatted in MLA format – double-spaced, one inch margins, 12 pt Calibri or Times New Roman font, etc. You will also need a Works Cited page in MLA format.
You must argue a single claim in this paper and support it consistently throughout the paper.
Some paper topics you might consider:
• The construction/treatment of family or social roles in the play
• The role of authority in the play
• The representation of identity or memory in the play
• The representation of kingship, lordship, and/or fatherhood in the play
• The representation of Nature, nature, or the gods in the play
• The role of law, whether human, supernatural, or natural, in the play
• The treatment of gender in the play
Goals for this paper:
• Your paper should have a unifying thesis that is an assertion about the meaning of the text. This thesis should be located at the end of the introductory paragraph.
• Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence which is a unique claim that supports your thesis, and it should be supported by evidence in the text (quotes), which are then analyzed by you.
• You must support that thesis convincingly using supporting evidence from the text and secondary sources. Each body paragraph should involve at least one quote and typically more than one.
• You must analyze that evidence-there’s no such thing as a self-evident text, so you’ll need to explain how the textual evidence you’re providing functions as evidence for your claims.
• You must use secondary sources effectively
• You need a Works Cited page formatted in MLA format
A note about how to use secondary sources—remember, your argument is still yours. You want to use critics to support your claims, or to give you someone to respond to, but you do not want to let the critics’ voices take over your paper or replace your argument, and your paper is not a report on criticism.
