What plays are you comparing? Did you read them? Since you didn’t give any details on the plays this is the best I can do….You need to start out your paper giving a brief summary of each play (just the main points of what happened and what the main character (tragic figure) did. Explain how what these two characters did affected their lives. (For example..If he or she killed their best friend…Did they spend the rest of their days regretting their decisions, did they go around helping others because they felt so guilty..was the person they killed evil and they became a hero…that sort of thing). What might have they done differently? Would this have changed the outcome? Then decide which one of those two guys/girls you sympathize (agree with their actions) the most. Explain why you feel this way…if tragic figure number one killed his best friend, but you feel that he was justified to do so…say this and explain why.

Usually with a tragic hero they are basically good, but because of some character flaw things don’t work out happily. For example in Romeo and Juliet…Romeo was a tragic hero. He was a good person and rose above the prejudice of his family because he loved Juliet. But the intensity of his emotions also caused his down fall. When in love he tended to jump in with out looking first so to speak. Specifically with Juliet, he did not think about what would happen to his family and friends if he chose Juliet over them. He was so wrapped up in his all consuming love for her that he forgot everything else. Then when things went horribly wrong in the end, he made another rash decision and ended his life quickly because he felt that death would be better than spending life without Juliet (whom he thought was dead)…had he stopped and thought things through before taking the poison he would have discovered she was not dead. But because he was tragically flawed, those flaws…intense emotions, leading to rash decisions ultimately caused his death and the death of his lover.

The first thing to do is read the two plays and decide who you actually sympathize with the most.

Once you have an idea in mind look for support within the play that demonstrates why you are sympathetic to one character. Give examples from your life of why this resonates to you. Show why the one character had more of an ordeal by comparing his journey and troubles to the character in the other play.

Basically take a look through both plays at the isolated characters and follow the arc each follows.

Say the question is a few ingredient like “how is imagery used / how does the author teach…” one million. investigate your 4 poems. seek for for a sort. in accordance to probability 2 or 3 of them use the comparable sort e.g. they use a basic image. are you able to locate words that are repeated in the time of the poems? make sparkling why this image is used (e.g. to rouse a different reminiscence, to place for the time of a different journey or temper). that’s one section (no longer unavoidably one paragraph. that’s beneficial to interrupt it up into smaller paragraphs). 2. New section. Does one million or extra beneficial poem use a distinctive image or sort to rouse the modd/image which you have defined in section one million. make sparkling what the variation is and the way that’s used. 3. New section. Do one million or extra beneficial of your poems have the comparable subject count number (e.g. the poet’s mom, the nation-state) yet describe them in distinctive suggestions? Describe the similarities and alterations AND what the consequence of utilising the comparable or distinctive ideas is (do the poems grant you a distinctive view of e.g. the mummy? Does the 2nd poem make superior the perception of the 1st?) the question will inform you the way many poems you are able to desire to evaluate. If it says a minimum of 2, you will probable decide on 3 (the 0.33 could desire to be the only that has alterations to the others) the main important words are SIMILARITIES and alterations. reliable fulfillment 🙂
