Reаd аll three excerpts аnd cоmplete the writing task belоw: Excerpt 1: William Shakespeare, The Winter’s Tale (Act II, Scene 1) "Hоw blest am I In my just censure! in my true opinion! Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed In being so blest! [...] There may be in the cup A spider steep'd, and one may drink, depart, And yet partake no venom, for his knowledge Is not infected: but if one present The abhorr'd ingredient to his eye, make known How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, With violent hefts. I have drunk, and seen the spider." Excerpt 2: Plato, The Republic (The Allegory of the Cave) Context: Socrates describes prisoners chained in a cave who believe the shadows they see on the wall are the only reality. "And if he were compelled to look straight at the light, would he not have a pain in his eyes which would make him turn away to take and take in the objects of vision which he could see, and which he would conceive to be in reality clearer than the things which were now being shown to him? [...] And if there were a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who had never moved out of the cave... would he not be ridiculous?" Excerpt 3: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love (1963) "Softmindedness is one of the most lamentable states in which man can find himself. [...] Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. [...] The toughminded person is always examining the facts to see whether they are true. The softminded person always fears the truth and reaches for the comfortable and the easy." Please complete both steps: Step 1: In paragraph form, explain and defend Shakespeare's perspective on ignorance 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 ignorance to those of Plato and Dr. King 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.
