YOU SHOULD RESPOND TO BOTH SECTIONS, A AND B, AND CHOOSE ONE QUESTION FROM EACH SECTION:

Section A (70%)
Choose one of the following questions:

1. Discuss the issue of forgiveness or mercy in the Tempest and the Merchant of Venice. In your answer you should refer to the notions of justice and/or revenge, and take into consideration the relations of power that permeate the plays and in the context of which the issues of forgiveness and mercy arise. (questions of gender, race, religion, economics or other depending on the play).
2. Focusing on King Lear and Othello, discuss comparatively the significance of the disruption of the established order and hierarchy (ex. State, familial, racial or gender, depending on the play), and whether order is restored resolving all issues that had disturbed social stability.
3. Focusing on Othello and the Tempest, discuss from a critical perspective what is involved in the concept of ‘non-human’ and the ‘unnatural’. You are expected to explain why the ‘human’ aspect of a character- ie.
