The question asks you to analyze what you have read in the
two plays, paying specific attention to the idea of women who "break the
rules."
"Compare and contrast" asks you to first find
similarities (compare) as to how the topic of women breaking rules is presented. You
could briefly summarize each play and write about what both plays have in common
regarding "women breaking the rules," supported with specific examples from the
text.
Next, in contrasting the two plays, you would
summarize and show how they each handle the theme of "women who break the rules"
differently, supported with specific examples.
In other
words, in the comparison you might be able to find what is common between both plays in
the rules the women break? Do they break the same kinds of rules? In contrasting the
two plays, you might well address the consequences in each play for the women who broke
the rules: are the consequences the same, or are the consequences in each
different?
You might also want to draw some kind of
conclusion as to what you think about what you have discovered.
