Abstract

In preparation for my ORCA grant, I wrote a critical analysis comparing and contrasting questions of morality in two of Shakespeare’s famous works, The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest, for a literature class covering the works of William Shakespeare. That initial introduction to the moral complexities and ambiguities of Shakespeare’s works sparked my interest in Shakespearean studies and prompted me to expand that paper for my Honors Thesis. In the process, and with Dr. Siegfried’s help, I decided to make the most of my research by presenting my paper at the International Conference of Language, Literature, and Linguistics in Singapore in July of 2012. The ORCA grant that I received allowed me to travel to Singapore and present my findings at a professional conference with seasoned professionals as well as other likeminded students.
