Women In Shakespeare Projects

Hey everyone, I figured this would be helpful if anyone was researching Women in Shakespeare. There is a movie on Netflix called Shakespeare's Women and Claire Bloom. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244788/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 That is the imdb link talking about the movie. I think it might help many of you!

While looking for a title for my wiki I found this, so I thought I'd share.

Answer to term paper stuff

Over the summer, I read The Grapes of Wrath, Cannery Row, and East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I liked East of Eden the best because it was easy to understand the plot and I was interested in the novel the entire time. The novel intertwines two families, the Trask's and the Hamiliton's, and covers three generations while retelling the Genesis story of Cain and Abel and the decline of Adam and Eve. I also thought that Cannery Row at times was a little confusing because it did not exactly have a main plot and the novel would jump from the life of one character to a totally knew character. All of the novels are almost all set in California or the characters move to California because they want to find a better life or they have heard that there is work in California. As of now I feel pretty good about putting a thesis together for the term paper because I have found a couple of good themes. Although, since some of the novels were a bit longer, I think it will be more challenging to find good examples, even though I did read actively and took good notes. I just want to find a good topic that interests me and one that I feel confident I can write a lot about.
