Essay Questions: What motivates some of the characters in both Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus and William Shakespeare’s Othello? How might those 2 plays be connected in terms of the ways that specific characters are motivated to do what they do, and what is the significance of those connections?
Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus and William Shakespeare’s Othello are the only 2 sources that can and must be used for this paper. You will need to use an effective amount of direct quotations from those 2 texts in order to support the claims that you make in your paper, and they must be cited and documented in correct MLA format. Be sure to be consistent with your use of direct quotations. Any claim that you make about a text needs to be supported with a direct quotation from that text. However, like all papers in this course, this writing project must be primarily based on your own opinions, ideas, and arguments.
