• Directorial Interpretation of a Dramatic Text
• Psycho-analysis of characters and motivations. If you are currently studying Enlightenment or Absolutism this may work for you.
• Analyzing Macbeth’s character via Machiavelli’s The Prince.
• Gender dynamics – how staging influences an audience’s perception
• Interpolations. Most modern directors cut 3.5 (Hecate’s scene) because it is not Shakespeare’s writing. How does this improve or worsen the show?
