I need help deciding on my twelfth night coursework title :(

My options are
How far does Shakespeare's presentation of the character.... ultimately subvert the status quo?

does shakespeare's use of cross dressing int welfth night fulfil more than a comic function
or
how does shakespeare use fools in twelfth night for comic effect


which one do you think you could talk about the best?

What's your essay mainly on?
If it is only on cross dressing, then the middle title would be fine, but if you are writing about the humour and fools in general in twelfth night then the third title would be better.

Also, my teacher tells us that when a question in English starts with 'How' your answer should focus on the techniques the author uses to create the desired effect. If your essay is focusing predominantly on style and the effect it causes, then starting your essay with a 'How' question is fine but otherwise you could use a command word like 'Describe', etc.

Hope this helps and good luck!
