i wrote the essay to a pretty broad thesis.
"Through variations in context and textual form, Looking for Richard offers new insights into the deceitful ambition of King Richard III."
Cool! Okay, so let's work with that a little bit.
A Thesis should stand independent of the texts. Basically, your essay is saying: "Okay, this is my big Thesis/idea, and I'm going to talk about how the two texts represent this idea." The concept stands by itself and is actually more important than the texts; the texts are just your evidence. In this Module, you are also comparing how the idea has been represented in different contexts!
So, try to come up with a Thesis that stands independent of your texts. It looks like, based on what you have now, it will be based around
deceitful ambition. Great! Think about what sorts of things you want to say, and form your Thesis. It might look something like:
Deceitful ambition is a fundamental part of the human condition, as it is the natural tendency to _________ etc.This can then be followed with the sentence you had above as an amplification statement to introduce your texts!
PS - Feel free to start a new thread just to work on this Thesis!
