Exploring themes of identity and transformation, this seminar paper analyzes Shakespeare's depiction of a "salvage and deformed slave." It delves into the complexities of character representation in his works, particularly focusing on how these portrayals reflect societal attitudes towards race and disability. The paper, graded highly at the University of Tübingen, situates Shakespeare's narratives within broader literary contexts, revealing deeper insights into the human condition and the implications of marginalization in Elizabethan society.
