Research Paper assignment – ENG 2470
Description
The culminating writing assignment for this course is a research paper that argues a
specific position on a topic derived from one of the four major texts assigned for the
semester. The research paper should be an argumentative synthesis, so it must be
governed by an arguable thesis that you frame. You should use at least eight
secondary (or outside) sources to buttress your argument, and you should use MLA
guidelines to format the essay and the bibliography.
In 6-9 pages, compose a researched argument on one of the following primary texts
from the course: The Nun’s Priest’s Tale, Hamlet, Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho
and The Rape of the Lock.
I have formulated a few thesis statements but am also open to new ones as well. Will need just the thesis statement by July 12th midnight to submit. Research paper is not due intil July 21st.
Thesis Statement ideas:
– Working thesis statement: Hamlet’s status as an irresponsible narrator and the ghost’s symbolization of oppression of Catholics during Shakepeare’s time period.
– The repetitive likeness of madness in Shakespeare’s Hamlet illustrates a withdrawal from norms creates privilege from social and political limitation.
– Hamlet examines the inconsistency between how things appear and how they actually are.
– Hamlet’s tragedies are reflected through characters throughout the play.
