  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What does it mean when a teacher asks you to do a short research paper and say that you must use at least one "critical source."?

And, does anyone know where I might find a critical source on Shakespeare and the concept of twins in his plays?

Might check with your professor ...
I assume that a " critical source" is one that is accepted by those in the field ( the Bible is a critical source for Theology ; the constitution is a critical source for law and government )
...run a search shakespeare and twins :
foot notes .... what book , publisher , ibsn# , page number ... your source that helped you document your postion on the paper you wrote ( not just an opinion ).

A critical source in this instance would probably mean one of Shakespeare's plays (that uses the concept of twins)
I think that "critical source" can also be called "primary source" eg one of Shakespeare's works. A "secondary source" would be a book or article about Shakespeare and his works
