Prompt:
The Winter’s Tale
was one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote, and he seems to
be thinking about youth, or the parent
–
child relationship, in a novel way perhaps based
his own enwisened perspective. How do parents regard their children or their own
childhood in this pl
ay, and how does that explain their behavior
or sense of self
in the
present? You might think about
Leontes
s
peaking of children
as “cop

their fathers
,
or Polixenes’s association of
youth with Christian innocence

7 pages). Focus on analyzing lines of speech and dialogue first and
foremost (and analyzing plot points secondarily). The most
interesting arguments

.
You may speculate
on how modern and/or Renaissance audiences would react to the play as part of your
argument, but keep your argument grounded in the text
Note: The key focus is analyzing what Shakespeare is saying in the text and discuss word choice and further in depth meaning of what he is saying.
