My topic is love/romance, and I think I've finally narrowed it down! I want to draw conclusions of what Shakespeare really thought about love by comparing three specific sonnets with the play Romeo and Juliet. So, here is my schedule for what I'll be doing for the rest of the semester (for each of these I'm going to be trying to include textual analysis and any criticism that supports my arguments):
- March 21-27: Compare sonnet 18 with Romeo and Juliet
- March 28- April 3: Compare sonnet 116 to Romeo and Juliet
- April 4-10: Compare sonnet 130 to Romeo and Juliet
- April 11-17: Memorize a passage from Romeo and Juliet and a sonnet and perform them
