As every AP Literature and Composition student knows, you can't go through the class without reading at least one of Shakespeare's great works. Whether it is Othello or The Merchant of Venice, every AP Lit student has read one of Shakespeare's plays. Student's often ask their teachers why they make them read Shakespeare because it is so hard to read because of there ancient dialogue and the the outdated themes, and the response is simple; Shakespeare makes you think. The true meanings and themes of the plays are hidden deep within the text of Shakespeare's writings. This forces students to think and dig deeper into the play and thus helps them become better readers and writers.
Below are some papers that I wrote while completing the Shakespeare unit in my AP Lit class. The goal of these are to give you insight into what AP students extrapolate from reading the great works of the one and only, William Shakespeare.
