Do something with it.

Choose one of the three broad themes offered below and give it some focus, with a specific thesis statement and an argument based on two works we’ve read, for an essay of about five pages. You’ll also need to use at least two critical sources.
1. Hate is as much of a motivating force as love, as seen in some of the plots we’ve read, but can it ever work toward accomplishing something good?
2. Fate, chance, or some other large, controlling force often seems to be at work in the lives of the characters we’ve read, but where does that leave free will, and does religion play a role?
3. The hypocrisy in people’s behavior is a topic in much of what we’ve read, but is it simply wrongheadedness, or does it reflect some disjunction between the individual and society?
Guidelines:
A. Cut those throat-clearing introductions and conclusions. Get right to your assertion and develop it.
B. Your argument should rest on both textual evidence and at least two critical references that have real bearing on what you’re saying. Don’t just drop in a quotation and run away. Do something with it.
C. At least a few times in your paper, to support your argument, you must analyze the particular way something is phrased.
Note: All papers must be typed and double-spaced, including a Works Cited section in accordance with the latest MLA style (this page is not counted as part of the five-page length).
