Examine the use of a motif and trace the development of a theme centered on the motif

/in /by

As a final demonstration of your knowledge of Hamlet, you will be writing an essay on one of the play’s motifs. Your task is to examine the use of a motif and trace the development of a theme centered on the motif (recurring structures, contrasts, or literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s major themes).
Process:
Select a motif from the list of motifs below.
Formulate a theme statement that can be supported by these references.
Select at least 3 references to the motif that can be best used to show the development of the theme. Remember that development of a theme is best shown over time; therefore, your references should span the play.
Organize your ideas, examples and quotations under a strong thesis statement.
Your essay must make specific references to the novel and use direct quotations (with citations) to support your arguments (use your dialectical journal for this).
Essay length: 500-700 words with a minimum of 3 quotations (may be partial quotes integrated into your sentences.)

Choose one of the following motifs from Hamlet:
Revenge Madness Death Disease/Decay Spying Misogyny
Grief Ears/Hearing The Oedipal Complex

As you read the play, use the dialectical journal template to record references to at least three motifs above so that when you finish reading, you can then choose which motif you feel you feel you can best analyze. You will turn this journal document in with your essay.

Describe the merits and limitations of perseverance and determination.

In a Word APA document, write a narrative summary using the Concept Mapping Knowledge Base / Research Methods on three pages (two content pages, 1 conclusion page), proposing a possible solution to a specific problem that identified in your workplace (Be specific in your answers). Also, describe the merits and limitations of perseverance and determination.

Instructions and definition of what a mapping is:

Structure: Concept mapping is an effective symphony of efficiency, not movement or wasted energy based on your problem statement.

Structuring your concept / mapping research according to a reader’s logic means examining your work and anticipating what the reader needs to know, and in what sequence, to grasp and be convinced by your argument as it unfolds. The easiest way to do this is to map your research ideas through a written narrative summary. This story will give you a preliminary record of your ideas and allow you to constantly remember the reader’s needs to understand your idea.

Concept map research asks you to predict where your reader will expect background information, counterarguments, detailed analysis from a primary source, or a change to material from the secondary source.

Try doing your research mapping like this:

Express your research in a sentence or two, then write another sentence saying why making that statement is important. In other words, indicate what a reader could learn by exploring the claim with you. Here you are anticipating your answer to the “why” question that you will eventually develop in your conclusion.

Begin your next sentence like this: “To be convinced of my claim, the first thing a reader needs to know is …”. Then say why that is the first thing a reader needs to know and mention one or two pieces of evidence that you think will justify the case. This will allow you to begin answering the “what” question. (Alternatively, you may find that the first thing your reader needs to know is background information.)

Begin each of the following sentences like this: “The next thing my reader needs to know is …”. Again, say why and name some evidence. Continue until you have plotted your investigation.

Your concept mapping / research should naturally take you through some preliminary answers to the basic questions of what, how, and why. However, it is not a contract; the order in which ideas appear is not rigid. Concept mapping is flexible; evolve with your ideas.
