I will list the files you can use which might be more useful
I need a senior paper written. I had to design the prompt/topic myself, and I chose the corruption in Hamlet. In each paragraph, my teacher prefers this outline:
Topic sentence
Background info
Evidence 1: Primary Source quote (hamlet)
Analysis 1: Primary source analysis
E2: Secondary source evidence
A2: Secondary source analysis
Return to thesis sentence
This will also be included in a file ^^
This is 15 % of my whole grade this quarter so I am going to be needing a lot of time spent in it. I don’t need absurdly abstract sentences, just well written, and include AP12 level vocabulary.
IMPORTANT: I have already conducted my thesis statement and gone over it with my teacherso please use this
Thesis: In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, Shakespeare argues that when one seeks out power in an immoral manner, it corrupts the individual and those in contact with them. This is demonstrated through the downfall of Denmark that begins with Claudius’ treachery, Polonius’ mischievous schemes and plots, and lastly Hamlet’s violent outbursts.
If you want to change the reasons in the thesis why Polonius and Hamlet are corrupt, go right ahead, if you have other ideas about their corruption but try to keep it simple.
I will also include some secondary sources you can use if they are helpful. If you need to use different ones please get them through JSTOR or an online library, something like that.
P.S. for the first secondary source I cannot find it online anymore so here’s the citation, Not sure if its in MLA if not, that needs to be changed Knight, G. W. (2010). Chapter 2 section 6. In Hamlet Is Corrupt, Not Claudius (pp. 82-89). essay, Greenhaven Press. It’s the first 4 pages (the pictures) just know that is only one secondary source
The other secondary sources I think they should be a good scrollable file.
I’m going to include 3 but you can find a different article elsewhere if you dont like these
I think would be smart– (1 in each paragraph) i think that would be easiest
(If you do three body paragraphs)
Also important: Don’t stress if you cant get all the way to 5 pages it just has to be more then 4.
In MLA format. Please make sure that 3 secondary sources are in it.
