Research Assignment 3 - Twelfth Night

Directions: Look up some informal or formal research on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. This can be Cliff Notes, Sparknotes, other websites or more reliable sources such as journal articles or books. Use this research to inform your understanding of the play. DO NOT SUMMARIZE. Write a 2 page, reader response style paper on the play. How did the research you conducted help you to understand the main idea or smaller themes in the play? What do you think a reader could take away from this play concerning gender roles? Love? Etc? Write about anything of your choice but it must be insightful and not simply a summary. You need to thoroughly explain all of your comments. I.E. Don't just say you liked something, but explain why you liked it or disliked it as well.

Include a citation for your source. E-mail this assignment to me by Saturday, May 1st at midnight.
