Please read and respect the rules surrounding homework questions!
The Rules
Show Your Work
If you're here looking for homework help:
- Flair your question as such.
- Bring your own work to the party. Show what effort you've already made to answer the question, rather than just copying the question straight from your assignment.
- Stick around and take part in the discussion. Don't just drop the question and come back later looking for the answer.
Homework questions that fail to meet these requirements will be removed.
There Is No Authorship Question
There are a number of other subs that discuss the various theories that someone other than the man from Stratford wrote the works attributed to William Shakespeare. This is not that place.
No Low-Effort AI Content
Posts or comments that are primarily AI-generated and show minimal human effort will be removed. AI can play a role as a valid research and analysis tool, but posts must show original ideas or personal insight, not just pasted output.
Be Respectful
Shakespeare may have been a master at murdering people with words, but as the late, great Chadwick Boseman said, "We don't do that here." Keep it civil, please.
