For the first one, you should stick to just one of the texts.

\nThe one about Moses is interesting just because I'm not familiar with any interpretations of Moses as a tragic figure, so I'm curious to see what you could come up with there.
\n
\nFor either of these topics, what type of research are you planning on doing? Research into interpretations of the texts? Historical background-type research?","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"46245188","body":"I believe I can find research to support the idea of moses being an epic hero, but maybe by defining a tragic hero I can make comparison's between moses and some famous tragic heroes in literature (ex: mcbeth) without going into any great detail about other stories.
\n
\nResearch wise, I plan on looking at critical analysis' of moses or of the old testament in general- also I will probably explore some BC scholar's definition of moses and the credibility of his character but that section will be small.
\n
\nWhile the stories of moses in the old testament will be my primary source for argument, I am not sure that I will come to any conclusion on which he is (tragic or epic) is it okay if the essay concludes slightly open-ended?
