As part the Shakespeare research paper for English 382 I am required to document my research and writing process. According to the assignment instructions, here are the components I must include. Any requirements that have been met include a link to a post(s) that document my efforts for that component and any specific plans for components that I have yet to complete are explained:
Textual Analysis - The bulk of my time has been focused on finding secondary sources and social proof but textual analysis of The Tempest is going to be a crucial aspect of my paper. One example that I have already considered comes from Act V, when Prospero states, "this thing of darkness, I Acknowledge mine. " Jung expounds the significance of this type of acknowledgment, explaining: "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." Another element of the text I plan on delving into is the setting of the play. Water, particularly the ocean, is a common symbol of the unconscious in the psyche so Shakespeare's choice of an island is relevant to my analytic approach to the text.
Social Proof (finding) - Because my topic involves Jungian theory and I'm currently taking a class on that subject I decided to begin looking for social proof both through some classmates in that class and the instructor of that class, Dr. Suzanne Lundquist. I still plan on pursuing other sources of social proof outside of BYU.
Annotated Bibliography - Yet to come
Digital media and online resources - Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies, The International Association for Jungian Studies, "Shakespeare" by Another Name, "At the Edge of the Modern, or Why is Prospero Shakespeare's Greatest Creation?", and more to come...
Phase 1
Exploration - I began my process with this general idea. That idea led me to an interesting article that I mentioned in this post, and that article led me to consider some aspects of Jungian theory, as mentioned in my post, "Jungian Perspective on Prospero/Shakespeare"

Social Proof (contacting) - Ellie is also in Dr. Lundquist's class and is researching Jungian connections with Hamlet. Speaking with her was very beneficial and led me to a couple of the sources listed above. My conversation with Dr. Lundquist is summarized in this post. And more to come...
