Drama Essay Prompts and Links for English Honors and AP* Literature and Composition
Moliere
Choose a scene or character in one of Moliere's plays that awakens "thoughtful laughter."  Then write an essay in which you show why this laughter is thoughtful and how it contributes to the meaning of the work.

Tartuffe  Note the changes in social or political attitudes that are advocated in this novel.  Then analyze the techniques that the author uses to influence the reader's views.  Avoid plot summary.  Do  not write about a film or television program.

The Misanthrope    In this play, a confidant (male) or a confidante (female) is used to be present when the hero or heroine needs a sympathetic listener to confide in.  Frequently, as Henry James puts it, this friend or relative of the protagonist can be as much "the reader's friend as the protagonist's."  Write an essay in which you discuss the various ways this character functions in the work.
