FILE MUST be saved in WORD. Papers must be properly formatted following the MLA style. Remember to carefully reference every text you cite from directly and those you refer to. Editing: Your papers should bear your name, class code and date top left hand and title of the essay top center of the first page, a header with your name and page number on every page. The margins for your paper should be uniform, set to at least 1″ or 2.54 cm on all sides: top, bottom, left and right. Grades will be subtracted if you dont carefully follow the indications and the MLA standard for writing of academic papers. Make sure to use at least one scholarly peer reviewed article that supports your argument and to cite it appropriately. __________________________________________________________ you can choose ONE of the three prompt : Prompt A. Write a 1500 word paper discussing the way the play of Romeo and Juliet includes and mingles elements of comedy and elements of tragedy. Promp B. Write a 1500 word paper discussing the way in which the play of Romeo and Juliet investigates the boundaries between private and public life – the lovers’ hidden marriage and the public family feud, the failed intervention of Friar Lawrence (a public figure) and the authority of Prince Escalus. Prompt C. Write a 1500 word paper discussing the theme of Revenge in the play of Romeo and Juliet. Would you define this a Revenge Tragedy (look up definition) of the kind that was typical at the time? Or would you say that the play is challenging that kind of plot, suggesting it is time to move beyond the mind-set of “an eye for an eye”?
