Paper Topic

I would like to write my paper about identity and the collapsing of boundaries. I will probably leave this pretty short; however, As You Like It, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Coriolanus, and King Lear have all shown some interest in the masks we wear to deal with the world. It would be fun to explore this and delve even deeper. I would also like to see how Dionysus, the god of masks, and his thematic brethren, Adonis, Attis, and Osiris/Horus play into theatre and acting itself, and how that relates with the "wood" and the Goddess of Complete Being. Sorry, this is rambling, I am just toying with ideas right now and really have to get started.
