This essay will demonstrate your ability to identify a theme, narrow your focus, and
compose an arguable thesis statement. You will be required to use two secondary
(scholarly) sources to help support or illuminate that argument.
The prompt is;
What is the significance of honor in Much Ado About Nothing? How is female
honor different from that of male honor? In the end, does honor do more
harm or more good? Explain and support your answer.
Please use the following requirements for this essay:
1. The paper will be at least 1,500-2,000 words.
2. You will use at least two secondary sources in addition to the literary text you are
analyzing. Your Works Cited, then, should have at least three entries.
3. Secondary sources must be scholarly, not popular. (No websites unless that’s how
you’ve accessed a scholarly journal) Use the Leatherby librarians for help if needed.
4. Your paper will include both in-text (or parenthetical) citations and a Works Cited
page. The Works Cited will not be included in your word count.
