1. What thematic strands have you located?
Disguise, veil, conceal, trick, hide, secret, false
2. Where is the data you retrieved found? What is happening in context when Shakespeare employs this particular theme or image?
The data retrieved for my concordance is found all throughout the play. Shakespeare employs this particular theme when the characters have something to hide, or do not want to appear as their true selves.
3. How does the data you retrieved support your first thoughts on Shakespeare’s obsessive use of a particular image? What can you argue about Shakespeare’s figuration?
The data I retrieved actually is not the way I thought the words would be used in the play. Although the theme of disguise is central to the plot, the words actually do not show up as much as I thought they would.

For the second question, it may be helpful to find specific examples of when your thematic strands show up and who uses the terms. This might be helpful in identifying trends, themes, and in drawing conclusions.
