Select one work which we have covered this semester and write a 1500–2000-word (4–6 double-spaced pages) research paper exploring the ways in which an understanding of the culture that produced it informs a clearer interpretation of a particular theme. Some examples of such themes might include attitudes toward nature, death, social class, gender, or the inevitability of religious conflict. Research paper must integrate at least 4 different, credible, scholarly sources (in addition to your primary text) cited according to appropriate MLA formatting standards and including a properly formatted Works Cited page at the end. The paper must be thesis-driven, making a coherent and original argument regarding the chosen work.
Submit this assignment by 11:59 pm (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.
