You may use sub-headings to improve the flow of your paper and address topics you wish to add.
Heading #3: My Opinion and Curiosities
Give your opinion of the British Isles and this culture in comparison to the United States. How do those from the United States behave differently?

The Dark Side of Love: A Close Reading of “Porphyria’s Lover”
in this essay, you will close read “Porphyria’s Lover,” poem.
You must look up at least four specific words in the Oxford English Dictionary (located in the QC Library Databases) to help broaden the
possible interpretations of the poem. Also, use some of the literary
terms we have learned (such as alliteration, repetition, assonance,
enjambment, symbolism, connotation, and tone) to analyze the text and figure out its possible meanings.
Also, all ideas and observations in this paper should be your own. Do not use articles analyzing
the poem that you’ve found on the internet or on Chat GPT.
That is plagiarism.
No outside research is allowed. It’s not important that you talk about
where the poet was born, where they lived, their family life, etc
3 full pages until the end and then page 4 can be resources. -

“The Role of Women and Race in Shakespeare’s Othello: A Critical Analysis”
Write a thesis-driven research paper about Shakespeare’s Othello of at least 800 words in which you respond to one of the prompts following this paragraph.
You will need to cite at least three critical sources, all of which must be from either Gale literary sourses or JSTOR databases. Use sources only from these two databases!
Note that you will need a Works Cited entry for Othello as well; thus you will have at least four Works Cited entries.
This paper is thesis-driven, which means you need to take a stand. Although you will employ research in your discussion, you will also need to make a claim which you support throughout the body of your research paper.
Prompts
Desdemona’s innocent conception of the relations between men and women is contrasted by Emilia’s more realistic or worldly view. Research the roles of women and the societal views of them in Elizabethan England and relate your research to the women in Othello.
Race plays a large role in Othello. It has been claimed that Othello ultimately fulfills an Elizabethan conception of Moors as a barbarous race, prone to jealousy and murder. Is this a fair assessment? Research Elizabethan views of the Moors and discuss whether Shakespeare, despite creating a noble character in Othello, does indeed play to stereotypical Elizabethan views.
Iago claims he hates the Moor because the lieutenancy he desired was given to Cassio and because it is rumored Othello has slept with his wife. These claims have not convinced everyone; Samuel Taylor Coleridge famously claimed that Iago’s soliloquy in 1.3 is the “motive-hunting of a motiveless malignity.” Research what Coleridge meant by this annotation in his copy of Shakespeare (he doesn’t use the word “motive” quite the way we do) and research how his claim has been received by other critics. Where do you stand? Does Iago endeavor to undo the Moor because of his stated reasons? How do you account for Iago’s apparent delight in plotting against Othello?
In-Text Citations of Verse Plays
See Verse Plays in the MLA section of The Little Seagull Handbook. In the current edition, it’s on page 156. However, below is what you need to know:
Give act, scene, and line numbers, separated by periods:
For example, Iago says, “Thus do I ever make my fool my purse” (1.3.364).
Othello is written in verse, for the most part. If your quote is more than one line, use a forward slash (/) to indicate a line break:
As the scene closes, Iago has a villainous idea: “I have’t! It is engendered. Hell and night / Must bring this monstrous birth to the world’s light” (1.3.384-385).
Note that each line starts with a capital letter.
Works Cited
Have your Works Cited on a separate page at the end of your essay.
You can see an example of a Works Cited page near the end of the MLA handout on Brightspace under Class Handouts.
Note that you need to alphabetize and reverse indent your entries.
The two required databases will provide you with a correct Works Cited entry. See the video.
Use the “Anthology” example on the Works Cited table near the end of the MLA handout for a model of how to create a WC entry for Shakespeare’s play. -

“The Power of Archetypes: A Literary Service Announcement”
Literary Service Announcement (LSA) Assignment
You have had a relationship with archetypes since a young age—Carl Jung might argue this is true since your conception. In fact, many movies and sitcoms use archetypes as part of their humor (think of the hero in “Spiderman,” or the villainous Joker in “Batman”). Throughout this unit, you have identified common archetypes across ancient and modern texts and visuals.
Choose the ONE archetype you most relate to, recognize, and/or like.
Create a public service announcement that educates your audience on the role of the archetype as well as persuades them that your archetype is one of the greatest—most common, most powerful, most dynamic (changes the most), most unique, etc.
The guidelines for the LSA are below.
I look forward to your LSA! Be as creative as you want!
Guidelines
In your LSA you should…
Educate
inform the reader of the common uses of the archetype.
give examples.
include content that is developed and shows mature thought.
ensure ideas are organized strategically.
ensure grammar and spelling are polished.
Persuade
ensure word choice is purposeful.
ensure rhetoric is used effectively.
ensure presentation is geared towards audience.
ensure excellent use of creativity in some form to sell your archetype.
use creative elements (examples include images, music, modern day connections, performance).
Pay attention to Length
Videos must be 30 seconds long. Can go up to 1:00. No longer than 1:00. Include words/captions.
Power points must be 8-10 slides (not including the title and reference slides)–with main points bulleted on each slide, and 25-50 words per slide.
Archetypes
: It may seem redundant at first as strictly speaking an archetype is simply an example of something, in short every trope is a story archetype. However here we are
using the term in reference to a concept in Jungian
Psychology of the same name. An Archetypal Character
is a character who appears over and over in legends far and wide, even in cultures that have shut themselves off from the world. The blood drinking risen dead
are an Archetype
as almost every culture has come up with their own legends independent of each other. Angel
is an archetype: the tragic hero trying to overcome the
evils of his past. Coyote
is an archetype. Xena is an archetype. Any of these may be disguised as a Space Alien
.
