Great Works of Literature II

General guidelines:
The paper should be about 2-3 page long (typed, double-spaced, with a 1-inch margin).
Avoid extensive summary (we have all read the texts), generic statements about literature, or the background or biography of the author.

This paper can be based entirely on your reading and reflection on the text. However, if you use any source to write your paper, you MUST acknowledge it in the proper way (whether you’re quoting or paraphrasing).

The paper does not need to be organized as a very formal essay: you should avoid lengthy introductions and conclusions and use most of the space, instead, for the analysis of your topic. The organization can be somewhat more schematic than a traditional essay.

Topic options:

Pick ONE character in Tartuffe and analyze their role and significance in the play. Make sure you consider not only the plot, but also other aspects: for example, language/style (how they speak, what things they have to say), symbolism, etc.

Pick ONE scene in Tartuffe and analyze its role in the play and how that is established through the use of characters and their interaction, language (symbols, metaphor, tone), structure of the scene.

Pick ONE poem by Blake, Dickinson, the Romantics, OR Baudelaire and write an articulate response to it: what you find interesting, what you think are its main characteristics (content, but also language such as metaphors, tone, etc.).

Pick ONE of the short stories we have read by Pushkin OR Tagore and comment on a very specific aspect of the text: the more limited, the better, as it will allow you to look closely at something you can discuss in a few pages. It could be a specific passage, a symbol, a character, its use of language, etc.

Debates about free speech and what kind of speech should be protected and what type of speech shouldn’t be protected have been raging in this country since it first became a country.

Should Hate Speech be legal

Snyde vs. Phelps case.

A few points about this topic:

This legal case is a landmark Supreme Court case about the right to free speech; it is one specific instance of the much broader debate about what “free speech” means in this country.

Debates about free speech and what kind of speech should be protected and what type of speech shouldn’t be protected have been raging in this country since it first became a country . . . and there is no sign those debates are ever going to go away. Debates about what kind of speech should be tolerated and what kind of speech should be banned are probably more intense right now than at any time in the past.

The concept of “free speech” has never been and never will be absolute. All societies put restrictions on some kinds of speech — slander, libel, physical threats against other people, lying in legal cases and on legal contracts, etc. etc. — and they always will. The debate is always over where exactly to draw the line on provocative or offensive or potentially harmful speech that may or may not rise to the level of being banned.

By framing this essay topic around a specific legal case, it will allow you to focus your essay just on this one case in order to make your essay more manageable, or you may expand your thesis to include arguments about banning or not banning hate speech in general.

Free speech debates are somewhat, though not entirely, philosophical arguments that are not necessarily dependent on a lot of outside research. It might be possible to write this essay without having to do a lot of outside research, though some research will certainly be helpful, and depending on your argument may actually be necessary.
