Suppose that the Sufi poets - Nizami, Saadi, Rumi, Hafez, Yunus Emre, and Jami - are able to attend a performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In an organized essay, explain which elements of Shakespeare's portrayal of love they would have recognized with, and which elements of his portrayal they would have found quite foreign? Make sure to back up your arguments with precise references.
--Your essay should have a major argument (shown in a short introductory paragraph), supporting paragraphs with concrete examples, and a meaningful conclusion. Your essay will most likely be somewhere between 1 and 3 pages long. The quality of your argument, not the quantity (length) is important!
