Hey guys I was just wandering if anyone could help me out a little. I'm a freshman at the University of North Alabama and I'm working on a pretty big research paper. I have to look at an issue in a story and tell why the issue is detrimental or good to society today. I also have to argue ways in which the issue can be solved or enhanced. I have picked Hamlet. Any thoughts?
You might choose Hamlet's vengeance and pride, Claudius's treachery, Horatio's loyalty, or the duplicity of Ophelia and R & G.
Here are few research questions:Quote:
