What does odysseus demonstrate by not replying to menelaus's message and pretending to be insane to avoid going to war? a. his great foolishness and continued problem with accepting his own fate b. his independent spirit and willingness to stand up to authority c. his cowardice in the face of great danger d. his devotion to his family and to his role as husband and father

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
