Subject: English Literature
The paper for this course asks that you explain what you see as one of the themes, or main ideas, in a story we’ve read this semester and show how the story expresses that theme through its literary techniques. For example, you might explain how “The Yellow Wallpaper” uses setting and symbolism to illustrate the oppression of women in the early 20th century; how “The Death of Ivan Ilych” uses the characterizations of Ivan, Gerasim, and Praskovya to show the effect of materialism on human relationships; or how “Araby” uses religious allusions to capture the lack of faith in modern Ireland.
