The chapters in the thesis were going to be: Hamlet, Richard III, Antony and Cleopatra, MacBeth, Nature of Narrative. I believe they’re now going to be, and this is very exciting:
Hamlet-Successful Narrative Usurptation
Richard III-Failed Narrative Usurptaiton
Non-Protagonist Usurpation- Prophesy, Messengers, and the internal audience
The Nature of Narrative
This organization just makes sense. Don’t worry, you’re going to love it. It’s hybrid.
Hannah, after thinking more about your draft, I returned to look at your chapters. I’m wondering–Does having an entire chapter on curses make sense? Could it be worked entirely into the Richard III chapter? Perhaps making Richard III more of a way of introducing the concept of curses could be effective. It would allow you to move away from defining the nature of tragedy, which seemed to come up as problematic in class. Just a thought–perhaps too big of one. Good luck!
