Shakespearean Tragedies Paper

Hey, guys! I was just curious as to what your papers are going to be about! I'm sure we have a myriad of different topics we are going to touch upon... My paper will be focusing on the prevalence of suicide found throughout Shakespeare's tragedies... so, feel free to comment! I can't wait to read the topics you guys will be writing about! :)

  1. MY SHAKESPEARE ESSAY WILL BE FOCUSING MAINLY ON THE THEME OR IDEA OF VENGEANCE AND HOW IT COMES WITH A COST; AS IT SO HAPPENS TO BE IN EVERY OF SHAKESPEARES TRAGEDIES. THATS WHAT I AM GOING TO TRY TO FOCUS MY PAPER ON.

  2. I chose to focus on the fact that Shakespeare conveyed that moral corruption, murder, treason, etc isn't limited to a specific social class. The belief during the 17th century was that the lowerclassmen were an undesirable part of society that was morally corrupt; however, we know that corruption isn't a disease that targets a certain group of people and spares another. :)

  4. I'm writing about the ironic endings in his tragides and how some can be seen as poetic justice
