The "irоn curtаin' referred tо 

Reаd аll three excerpts аnd cоmplete the writing task belоw:  Excerpt 1: William Shakespeare, Hamlet (Act I, Scene 3) Cоntext: Polonius is giving his son, Laertes, a series of parting instructions before Laertes leaves for France.  "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!" Excerpt 2: Sophocles, Antigone Context: Antigone has defied the decree of King Creon to bury her brother.  "I did not think your edicts strong enough To overrule the unwritten unalterable laws Of God and heaven, you being only a man. They are not of yesterday or to-day, but everlasting... I was not going to pay the gods’ just penalty For fear of any man’s pride and die for that." Excerpt 3: Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Book III) "If thou findest in human life anything better than justice, truth, temperance, fortitude... turn to it with all thy soul. [...] But if nothing appears to be better than the deity which is planted in thee... give no place to anything else. [...] For it is not right that anything of any other kind, such as praise from the many, or power, or enjoyment of pleasure, should come into competition with that which is rationally and politically good." Please complete both steps:  Step 1: In paragraph form, explain and defend Shakespeare's perspective on integrity as presented in Excerpt 1. Be sure to include at least *1 applicable quotations to support your answer. Remember, every quotation needs at least 2 sentences to explain why you put it in your response. Step 2: Compare/Contrast Analysis  Prompt: Compare and contrast Shakespeare's perspective on integrity to those of Sophocles and Aurelius in 2-3 paragraphs. Be sure to at least *1 quotation from each excerpt to support your answer. Remember, every quotation needs at least 2 sentence to explain why you put it in your response. Please use proper paragraph structure, grammar, spelling, and in-text citations. *remember, a quote for literary analysis should never be a full sentence. Instead, you should pull out words and phrases (2-3 words) to use as your quotes. You are analyzing the language (diction, metaphor, simile, etc.) not the whole sentence.
