Shakespeare did not come up with his plotlines; nearly all are based on at least one source. For this paper, please compare one specific aspect of a Shakespearean play with what you find in one of its sources (e.g. Hamlet's cunning in Saxo v. Shakespeare).

This critical paper will be 5-6 pp, double-spaced.
