So for the Shakespeare class I'm taking we were given the option of writing two papers five pages in length with choices of several topics or one paper ten pages in length of a more complex topic (which I will explain shortly). Being the procrastinator that I am chose the ten page paper, because it's due at the later date. The topic consists of choosing any Shakespearean character and comparing them with a well-known person in history. Well, being that my two all-time favorite Shakespearean plays are "Macbeth" and "Romeo and Juliet," I chose Macbeth himself as the character that I wanted to base my thesis of this paper around. Maybe my love for Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln, and my fascination with infamous crimes and murders, led me to picking Lee Harvey Oswald as the person to compare my dead Macbeth to. Though when reading Macbeth I do consider him my tragic hero and always route for him, the reason I chose to compare him and Oswald is because both of their careless actions (murders) are what ultimately led to their untimely demises. Any feedback, suggestions, [better] ideas feel free to leave them as comments.
