Pleаse аnswer ONE оf the fоllоwing questions with а complete essay response (Seven complete paragraphs minimum). [Total: 50 points] **You are allowed to use your book and notes for this questions** Essay Question #1: In Hamlet’s advice to the players, he suggests their role is “to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature.” Theatre is historically seen as a medium through which artists reflect their society, critiquing, commenting on, and sometimes preserving the world they inhabit. Critical theories such as Cultural Materialism and New Historicism emphasize that works of literature are cultural products of their time, necessitating the study of their historical context and the aspects of history that have been discarded or silenced. In your essay, select two of the following four Shakespearean plays we’ve read for class: King Lear, Julius Caesar, The Life of King Henry the Fifth, or The Tempest. Using one of the theoretical lenses of Cultural Materialism or New Historicism, conduct a comprehensive analysis of the power structures within the texts. Focus on how language, character traits, and actions reinforce dominant power structures or present a subversive agenda of resistance. Your analysis should be thorough and original, addressing the following points with specific examples from the texts: Identify language, characters, and events in the works that reflect the current events and cultural context of Shakespeare’s time. Examine the political agendas present in the texts and analyze how these agendas exert power throughout the narratives. Evaluate whether the texts support the social authority of their time or aim to transform the social order through subversive resistance. Critique how the portrayal of characters and events may criticize leading political figures or movements of the day. Analyze how the texts function as part of a continuum with other historical and cultural texts from the same period. Investigate how the interpretation and presentation of events are products of the author’s culture. Determine whether the works support or condemn the historical events they depict. Map the interplay of both traditional and subversive discourses circulating in the culture in which the works emerged and/or the cultures in which the works have been interpreted. Explore how the works consider traditionally marginalized populations and the implications of these portrayals. Assess the potential for creating a ‘dissident reading’ of the plays that interrogates hidden political agendas and power struggles within the texts. In order to receive full points, you are required to support your analysis with detailed references to the texts and cite scholarly articles we discussed in class or that you located through the Kares Library Databases. Your essay should demonstrate original thought, critical reflection, and a deep understanding of the theoretical frameworks and the plays themselves. Essay Question #2: Theatre is often a tool for social and societal change, particularly through the lenses of Feminist Theory, Gender Theory, and Post-Colonial Theory, which seek to reposition aspects of the dramatic literature canon to illuminate the lives and perspectives of marginalized groups. These theories critically examine dominant power structures and the binaries they create between dominant and subordinate groups. This reexamination is particularly evident in the scholarship of Shakespeare's plays in the 20th and 21st centuries. In your essay, select two of the following four Shakespearean plays we’ve read for class: The Taming of the Shrew, The First Part of King Henry the Fourth, Julius Caesar, or Twelfth Night. Using one of the theoretical lenses (Feminist Theory, Gender Theory, or Post-Colonial Theory), conduct an in-depth analysis of the power structures within the texts. Focus on how language, character traits, and actions reinforce or challenge these power structures at the expense of or in favor of marginalized groups. Your analysis should be detailed and nuanced, addressing the following points: Identify and critically examine a binary of power relations presented in the texts (e.g., male/female, heterosexual/homosexual, cisgender/transgender, white/black, colonizer/colonized). Analyze how these opposing roles are defined and how characters embody these traits. Explore whether characters adopt traits from the opposite side of the binary and how this affects their interactions and the reactions of others. Discuss what the texts reveal about the operations (economic, political, social, or psychological) of the dominating culture (e.g., patriarchy, heteronormativity, Eurocentrism). Evaluate the texts’ implications regarding the possibilities of resisting the dominant forces. Investigate how the literary texts problematize the concept of "identity," especially in terms of categories such as homosexual/heterosexual. In order to receive full points, you are required to support your analysis with detailed references to the texts and cite scholarly articles we discussed in class or that you located through the Kares Library Databases. Your essay should reflect original thought and personal insight, demonstrating a deep understanding of the theoretical frameworks and the plays themselves.
