Compare and contrast

paper that compare and contrast 2 of Shakespeare plays. Othello and the Merchant of Venice. It should be a 5 paragraph essay. First paragraph is the opening, last paragraph the closing.
Compare and contrast the 2 plays based on the setting, the plot, the 2 main characters and ethnicity and race.
So after the opening paragraph the 2nd could compare and contrast the setting and the plot. The 3rd paragraph could compare and contrast the 2 main characters- one from each play. The 4th paragraph could compare and contrast the race and ethnicity, then the fifth final paragraph.
It is only 2 pages so the paragraphs are short and to the point. It is to be written in the present tense and also when mentioning the name as the play it is italized as opposed to the name as the characte. For example Othello. We should use the plays from the book and also the movies. I do not need a reference page.
