Write a six-page double-spaced paper on one of the three topics below. Secondary research is neither required nor encouraged. All you need is the text, the question, and your thinking. Please ensure that you are making an argument: a linear, interesting, productive attempt to answer the question. Support your argument with specific, relevant textual evidence. On citations: any format is fine as long as it’s clear. Good luck! 1) In Gulliver’s Travels, the title character consistently fails to “see what is questionable.” In other words, he accepts things at face value, without noticing what’s odd or off-putting about them. How does he do it? Is Gulliver making the same kind of mistake, over and over again? Or is he actually finding different ways of being a “gull”? What, overall, does Swift’s anti-hero need to recognize? 2) Edmund, in King Lear, is a very bad guy. Yet nobody notices (other than him) until it’s much too late. Why can’t anybody see through him? Through what techniques does “the bastard” manipulate and dominate his brother, his father, his rulers, and his lovers? 3) Homer’s Odysseus is protected by Athena: the goddess of war and wisdom. Apart from her, it is men, in The Odyssey, who carry out war. What about wisdom? Are the women around Odysseus wise? And–if so–does this make any difference to the poem’s overwhelming patriarchy?
