For the take-home mid-term in ENGL 225.2, please choose two of the questions (see below).These 2 answers, combined, should be a minimum of 5 double-spaced pages.Think of them as mini-essays; ie. your essay should have a thesis and be coherently organized.Be sure to include quotations from the text of the plays you choose.Here are 3 prompts for your take-home mid-term1] Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona, A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Athens, and The Merchant of Venice in…well, Venice. Choose two of these cities and compare them. How is power distributed in each? What conflicts divide them? How does each city create a predicament for some of the characters (mention at least two), and how do they respond to that predicament? What is the fate of these characters, and what do we learn from that?2] A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Romeo and Juliet were written around the same time, in 1595-1506. One is a comedy and one a tragedy, but the plays are closely linked. Choose two of these themes: the supernatural, romantic love, and family relations. Show how the plays do (and don’t) overlap in their treatment of these themes. Be specific about relevant passages and how you read them.3] Henry V brings together a rich assortment of nationalities: the French, a Welshman, an Irishman, and even a Scotsman (he’s easy to miss), all of whom submit (eventually) to an English king. Choose two of these nationalities and describe how the play presents them. In the characters of the Dauphin and the other nobles, what does Shakespeare seem to be implying about the French? In Fluellen about the Welsh? In Macmorris about the Irish? In Jamy about the Scots? Be as specific about relevant passages and how you read them.
