3rd project – Essay
Shakuntala’s connection to nature Throughout the tale of Shakuntala, we, the readers, are able to see the love that blossoms between Shakuntala and the King Dusyanta.

Stranger in the Sacred Grove: Nature and Sexual Politics in Shakuntala
Women have been associated with nature for many reasons: throughout time, both have been muses and conquests for men.
