Research Help
In developing a research question, try to pick one which is broad enough to be easily researched yet not so broad as to be unmanageable. For example, if you were writing a research paper on Shakespeare's Hamlet, trying to write on the entire play would likely be very difficult for a three to five page paper. Conversely, writing on a single soliloquy or scene might not be a broad enough topic. You could, however, likely write a good paper by focusing on a single character (i.e. Hamlet) or theme (i.e. suicide).
