Canterbury Tales

please write 2 to three pages for each, but as a cohesive paper using the instructions.

Canterbury Tales (“Wife of Bath”) 1300s
Macbeth 1500s
Frankenstein Late 1700s and Early 1800s (1750-1850)
Jekyll & Hyde Late 1800s (1850-1900)
Northanger Abbey Early 1800s (1800-1850)
The Mystery of Edwin Drood Late 1800s (1850-1900)

The following 6 different ‘settings’ (historical time period and geographical location) and to connect your discoveries about the socio-historical context to the themes, symbols, and plot of the story.
You  should consider why the themes examined in the text were especially relevant to that time, place and the socio-cultural moment in which the text was created; how the symbols in the text are revelatory of and appropriate to the time, place and the socio-cultural moment in which the text was created; and what affect the time, place and socio-cultural moment has on the plot (here, referring to events and how they are depicted) in the story.
In your write-up of your discoveries you should be sure in each instance to define not only what a theme, symbol, or setting is in literary studies terms, but to also state what they specifically are in the text. You should also demonstrate in your write-up how the text itself reveals to the analytical reader aspects of the socio-historical moment in which it was created and lets a reader today see ‘what life was like’ in the culture, time and place in which the text was created and set.
As always, your goal is to show me what you know, the full extent and breadth of your understanding. While I will be looking at your research and assessing your understanding of history and society, the emphasis of assessment will be on your demonstration of how a literary studies analysis of a text connects to and reveals the socio-historical moment in which the text was created AND your understanding of the themes, symbols and plot of each novel or story.
You should therefore use the novels, plays, & short stories and Bedford as much as you use your research sources to communicate to me your discoveries, knowledge and understanding of the material.
You should also use only authorized and scholarly resources for your socio-historical research. This means you should not use Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, or other non-academic resources.
You cannot use external resources that directly refer to, analyze or discuss the actual texts themselves. In other words, you cannot access articles or resources that refer to Macbeth or Shakespeare, etc. Doing this will be a violation of the course’s Academic Conduct Policies, OU’s Academic Conduct Code, and will be considered plagiarism and be reported to the Dean of Students and Academic Conduct Committee as such.
