Samuel Beckett's Views on Women
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper contrasting Beckett's view of women in his novel Murphy, written in 1938, with that presented in his play Endgame, written in 1955.

Aeschylus' 'Prometheus Bound' / A Godly Love vs. Human Love
[ send me this paper ]
In this 5 page essay, comparisons are made between the role of love in 'Prometheus Bound' and 'Hippolytus.' The writer argues that just as Phaedra was made to suffer as the result of her own love, Prometheus was similarly made to struggle as the result of his love for mankind-- which motivated him to give us the gift of fire. Additional examples of love's predicament are provided from Prometheus Bound as well -- to further support this thesis (i.e., the case of Iago, etc;). Bibliography lists one additional source.

“Gawain” and “Cei”
[ send me this paper ]
A ten page paper looking at these two characters of Arthurian romance -- one from Chretien de Troyes’ “Erec and Enide” and “Lancelot,” and the other from Rosemary Sutcliff’s contemporary novel “Sword at Sunset.” The paper points out that Gawain is demeaned in Chretien’s works because he needed a more distinctively Gallic hero, while Sutcliff needed to make Cei more warrior-like to fit with her own setting. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
