Based on information in your textbook and today’s news, compare and contrast the Gilded Age to today’s political situation.  Remember that this is a college-level paper.  While I want your honest opinion, it needs to be a structured argument with evidence to support major points.  Be as detailed as possible and you are free to draw your own conclusions.  Do not try to argue what I would argue, your grade is based on how well you argue your point and support it with evidence.  This only needs to be two pages in length.  Remember that Mark Twain called the late 18th century the Gilded Age because while our government looked good on the outside, there was corruption on the inside.  I want your thoughts on ways in which this is true today or not true and discuss the impact of civic engagement on US politics to address some of these issues.  Do NOT simply post sentences from the chapter or other’s opinions to construct your short essay.  I look forward to reading your responses!  For more information on Gilded Age read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_Age

Question 1:  (Only read and relate to Euripides_The Bacchae)  Please write 150 words on Pentheus’ and Dionysus’ respective ways of “protecting” the city. What kind of traditions and norms must be respected to make Thebes strong and secure — military power and social order, or piety and respect for the gods? If it is useful, you may address who their respective followers/supporters in (or outside) the city are, and how orderliness or disorderliness among these followers will lead or not lead to the stability of the city.

Traditional and Experimental In what ways do you predict theatre will change? Or, think about what you know about theatre in your lifetime, and explain how it is different than theatre in previous chapters. What does it mean for a theatre to be not-for-profit? How is it structured differently than commercial theatre? What are the differences between existentialism and theatre of the absurd? Multicultural and Global What would be the benefits of nontraditional casting? Where have you seen it work? What are the drawbacks? Where have you seen it done poorly? Why is it important to note that Native American theatre is not historical or ceremonial? Using your knowledge of theatre history, how has crossdressing been used as both a provocative and conservative practice onstage? If and when you have attended the theatre, why did you choose to?
