Bogged Down, Needing a Sound Board

I've been feeling a bit unsure of my topic choice the last day or so. I'm really interested in talking about Shakespeare's eternal (?) influence on literature and how it compares to literature of today; specifically YA. But I'm struggling with specificity toward my personal play (I loved Measure for Measure too much to not have it be the play I do my research on). I did a little bit of extra digging today and found some really interesting articles about moral lessons in literature. I even found a podcast of one woman discussing moral lessons in literature and how she uses good literature to teach leadership skills. A lot of what I have been finding has been really intriguing, one article in particular about Measure for Measure, but it didn't seem to get specific enough either.

Wondering if anyone has some suggestions of a direction I could head in. I'll be talking to a couple other people in the next day or so too, hopefully I can find something to really focus in on.
