I will continue with my annotated bibliography with my scholarly sources and two performances that I watched of Hamlet and Macbeth. I've been working on revising my thesis, as well, but I've been struggling a bit with where exactly I want this paper to go. I have a lot of ideas, but I'm not sure if I want to focus solely on "millennials" or if I want to expand by not focusing on a specific age group but rather a specific...

Hanann's Annotated Bibliography (2)
New working thesis: The imagery
used in Hamlet such as flowers, ears, and dirt all symbolize Hamlet’s theme of action vs. inaction.
Social Sources
a. Homies: Does my Mom count as a
homie? She has an MA in English and loves Shakespeare. I’ve had so many good
talks with her about the psychoanalytical side of Hamlet and its symbolism that I want to include.

Grace's Annotated Bibliography (2)
So for my second blog post, I was really looking to posting my second round of sources, since this was where I drew most of my inspiration for this paper.
Media Sources:
Ereria, Alan. "Kings and Queens of England", BBC, 2004.
So this source is what really sparked my interest in the similarities between King Lear's character, and earlier British monarchs. I found it to be highly informative, and I enjoyed the flow.

Garrett's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Working Title: "The Regal Responsibility: A Look at Authority in Shakespeare"
Working Thesis: "Though responsibility is usually seen as something that people choose or accept, Shakespeare's characters show that responsibility is actually the controlling factor in their decisions and lives."
Scholarly Sources:
Bezio, Kristin M.S. "Drama and Demigods: Kingship and Charisma in Shakespeare's England."Religions, vol. 4, 2013, pp....
Abby's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Working Title:
"Et tu, Brute?" - What's really in a name?
Working Thesis
Statement:
Although naming may not directly cause violence, it can
create an association and dissociation between the speaker, audience, and
subject that incites extreme emotions that lead to violence.
Scholarly Sources:
Schalkwyk, David. “’What’s in a name’:
Derrida,...
Riley's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Working Title: Romeo, Juliet, & Hip-Hop: Setting the Stage for Civil Disobedience
(is this title too wordy?)
Working Thesis: The modern hip-hop appropriation of Romeo and Juliet illuminates the play's salient theme of civil disobedience and reaffirms that individual expression is a weapon against institutionalized hatred.

Mallory's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Working title: "Do Photographic Representations Cheapen Shakespeare's Classic Characters?"
Working thesis statement: While it is normal to want to interpret Shakespeare's characters through photographs, confining a well-rounded character to a one dimensional photograph can harm the portrayal of Shakespeare's work, causing more damage than intended.
My original idea was to look at several different Shakespeare plays, but I keep drifting...
Brett's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Iago: A Genuine Precursor to Milton’s Satan?
It has been claimed that Milton based Satan from Paradise Regained off of Shakespeare’s
Iago, from Othello. Although I agree
that these characters are based off of a similar personality type, I believe
that they tempt their victims with different rhetorical strategies: Satan deconstructs
his...
McKay's Annotated Bibliography (2)
Working Title: Well I like “Julius Caesar and Fate vs. Destiny.”
Working Thesis: In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the idea of fate is heavily explored as Caesar comes
to believe that he must become emperor and Brutus thinks he must assassinate
him. While both stoics believe they have no choice in the matter, Shakespeare
identifies that both men were guided by their own decisions rather than outside
forces.
