Thesis: In Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’, the exploration of gender and identity through the character of Rosalind challenges traditional societal constructs, revealing the fluidity of gender roles and the complexity of human identity.

– Central Focus: The writer consistently develops a central focus in which the body paragraphs support and demonstrate the main idea and argument asserted in the thesis.
– Content: The writer makes connections between textual support from at least one of the plays by Shakespeare that we covered in class.

This is an analytical paper. Avoid plot summary. Assume you are writing for a reader who is
familiar with the text you are discussing but who needs to be convinced by your argument. Your
paper should include examples, including direct quotations, that support your argument. You should stick to primary sources. Your works cited should include the edition(s) you are using. When quoting Shakespeare, cite the act number, scene number, and line number(s). EG 1.4.
17-28.
When quoting Shakespeare, follow these simple rules:
For short quotes (of two lines or less), use a back slash (/) to indicate line endings. Observe the
capitalization of line beginnings.
For longer quotes (of three lines or more), indent and lay the quote out exactly as it appears on
the page. Single space long quotations.
Remember that Shakespeare tends to write in full sentences. Do not begin a quote in the middle
of a sentence.
Stick to primary sources. (You may cite Rupert Goold’s version of Macbeth, but make sure you
distinguish between what is in the text and a director’s interpretation.)
The more quotations you can use to support your argument, the better.
I want to an essay that has emotion, but not toooo much where it’s obvious i didn’t write it. i want quotes from the actual play please. and also, make a few smallll errors for me so it’s not too obvious. make the first paragraph about how shakespeare wanted it to be based on fate because of how he is as a writer and when we was alive and stuff, but the second body paragraph to be about how the characters in the actual story show more personal choice than having fate impact everything or most things for them. then, the last paragraph to be about how modern readers might find it easier to blame things on personal choice because of all the stuff around us today (plus intro and conclusion)
Discuss why human nature is naive using Othello.
I preferably wanted to speak about how Othello’s naivety allowed him to be manipulated by Iago into believing that Desdemona was cheating on him.
I need 2-3 articles that support this topic.
It needs to be 5-7 pages, size 12 Times New Roman font, double-spaced lines. The Works Cited page needs to be in MLA format.
Research options include JSTOR, university websites, and professional periodicals.
In “We Are Othello: Speaking of Race in Early Modern Studies,” Ian Smith asks audiences to identify with Othello, to consider the possibility that, “It is we who are Othello.” From this perspective, Smith argues, Othello is continually at war and dies a fallen soldier in society’s race war. “Shakespeare’s suspension of the Turkish aggression forces us to recognize that conflict continues as a major issue but in the form of an internal ‘race war’ initiated by the play’s resident racist, Iago. In place of the violent clash of military warfare, the audience is treated instead to Iago’s more covert but no less destructive operations that generate Othello’s racial anxiety and self-hate.” Consider Smith’s argument and draw on at least one scene in the play to offer your own perspective as to whether you are able to see Othello sympathetically as a soldier who dies a victim lost to his and our society’s race wars
My ideas that the professor told me to try to include:
Two parts show how he (Othello) is good in part one and then in part two show how Iago manipulated him and turned him bad
Reasons why I sympathize with Othello(You could include but necessary)
The fact that he is insecure about being black and that he thinks that he is below his wife.
The fact that he is black and people are racist.
A Lot of people talk down to him othello.
He was deceived and lied to by iago.
