Write a five-to-seven page paper that analyzes the importance of one scene from Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus or Othello to that entire play. You should discuss why this scene is important for understanding one of the play’s major themes. One possible theme is the ability of individuals to exert influence or control over masses of people. Another is the theme of racial and national identity as a means of inclusion/exclusion. Yet another is the theme of patriarchal anxiety, influence, and guilt. You SHOULD NOT connect your analysis of the play to any of the secondary reading materials.
