Guidelines:
– No less than 1200 words
– Citations in MLA style
– Must incorporate the concepts of homo histrio (modest claims about human capabilities and potential rather than hyperbolic ones) and homo rationalis (the human being as a rational or thinking animal) to support your argument

When you sight a source in the play, at the end of the quote put the (Act, Scene, Line) it was in.

For this essay, you will choose a theme in which you explore the debate of authenticity (true selfhood through the use of reason) and role-playing (a self which adapts to the situation). For example, if you would like to write about the theme of romantic love in Hamlet, you might examine the conflicts Hamlet and Ophelia experience in their interaction with each other. What governs their attitude towards romantic love? Reason? Or are they articulating their love through the roles they were born into?

The topic I chose was Revenge. Revenge between King Claudius and Hamlet and also revenge between the Ghost and King Claudius. The Ghost went through Hamlet to get revenge on Claudius because of what he did.

discuss How does Wollstonecraft refute Rousseau\’s arguments about the different \”natures\” of men and women?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau famously favored a pedagogical system in which girls and boys, men and women, are educated differently, owing to what he took to be essential differences between the sexes. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft explicitly rejects such a system in favor of an egalitarian one, i.e., one in which girls and boys are subjected to the same curriculum. She argues for this view on the basis of a broader argument against Rousseau\’s gender essentialism (i.e., the view that each sex or gender has its own essential and essentially different nature). How does Wollstonecraft refute Rousseau\’s arguments about the different \”natures\” of men and women? How does she account for the appearance of different natures?
