While there are only two female characters in Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy,

While there are only two female characters in Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, both women play very important roles. Discuss the representation of women throughout the course of the play, paying careful attention to how these women are viewed by other characters in the play and the behavior of each woman. What is your impression of Bel-Imperia? Would you consider her a heroine? Why/why not? Be mindful to point to specific instances in the play that help you come to this conclusion.
Try your hardest to refrain on making a moral judgment of her character based on her last actions in the play–it’s fictional work of art, so I’m not asking you to decide whether or not her plan for revenge is justifiable.
AI Policies:
The submission or use of any Generative AI-produced material in this course without my explicit direction or approval constitutes academic fraud. If questions arise about Generative AI use, please consult me. This is a reading and writing course, and I cannot properly assess your critical thinking/writing skills and help you hone them if you are not submitting YOUR own original work. All of my prompts are designed and written to ask for your specific thoughts and ideas about the reading assignments, not a computer program’s. You may think running the prompts through Chat GPT, Grammarly, etc. to help brainstorm and/or enhance your writing may make you sound more professional, but AI has been around long enough for professors to easily recognize the patterns it uses in its responses. Turnitin is used for all of your written work in this class, not necessarily for the purposes of catching plagiarism, but it has the ability to do so.
