Critical Response 1: Purpose

I’m working on a Philosophy exercise and need support.

Write a short essay that defines and explains what you believe to be the purpose of theatre.

  • Clearly state your thesis on the purpose of theatre in the introduction (2.5 pts.)
  • Cite three pieces of textual evidence from a play(s) read/viewed this unit to support
    your thesis and explain and/or relate the evidence to your thesis (5 pts. each; 15 pts. total)
  • Summarize/review your evidence and restate of your thesis in the conclusion (2.5 pts.)
  • Use appropriate spelling and grammar which does not significantly hinder the reader (5 pts.)
