We talked about thesis statements a little bit today. You should do the following things:
1.) Pick the section of the play or character or relationship you want to analyze.
2.) Look closely at the text of the play, and the choices made by APT. How are the similar? How are they different? What was lost or gained by APT's interpretation (or was it exactly how you read it)? WRITE down specific lines, words, language that leads you to your interpretation (these will be used in the body of your paper.
3.) Write your thesis statement. NOW that you've compared these two things... so what? What do we learn from this? In this paper, you TEACH ME how you came to your point of view (your thesis).
This may help in terms of thesis statements too:
