CULTURAL ANALYSIS ESSAY

In this essay, you should choose one scene in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and develop a research question that allows you to explore the connections between the language, themes, and characters in that scene and a specific cultural situation / event (historical, political, social, etc.)

Your question can either be centered on a particular theme in the play, or else on a particular IRL situation / event, and it will surely vary widely depending on what you choose.

• Colonialism or colonial histories
• National and political authority figures
• Class or social hierarchies
• Immigration and border control
• Race, racism, or racial discrimination
• Whiteness or white privilege
• Gender roles or stereotypes
• Feminism or queerness
