Thanks for trusting my judgement enough to reach out to me!
My initial reaction to your paper was that you have great ideas but it may be a bit much to cover in an 8-10 page paper and with the limited time you have left to write it, may not be as focused as it should be. I hope this is not discouraging as I faced the same revelation yesterday. I have cut down the scope of my paper into 1/3. It seems that you have a lot of evidence for both Hamlet and Iago...so if It were me, I would choose the character that I have the most interest in and can provide the best case for. I understand if you feel so invested in your direction to narrow it now-I just feel that you would be able to accomplish your task with my confidence if you did so. Tomorrow, I would be more than willing to walk through some of the sections that I see were you can gain ground. For example, in the intro, you seem somewhat unsure of your aim-as you tend to repeat yourself without moving your cause forward. Taylor, I think this paper can really be great-just needs a more definitive direction. Please feel free to email me with questions.
ok, after about the second page i was thinking the exact same thing. :) I'm thinking I can just focus on Hamlet, and his madness. But I'll probably still have to figure out the 'so what' part. Thanks for your feedback! I'll see you tomorrow.
Taylor,
