Choose either Volpone or Duchess of Malfi and compare it to a comedy or tragedy by Shakespeare (one that you are already familiar with).
Discuss similarities and differences in the characters, themes, plotting, tone. Your paper should be 1000-1200 words. You may use outside research if you choose but it’s not required; if you do, include the source citation. Never copy someone’s words directly without acknowledgement; that’s plagiarism.
