Second Coursework Ideas...

I was  thinking of writing about the Poem "A Rhapsody on a Windy night" by T.S. Elliot, and linking it with the essay on Metaphor in the Critical Anthology. This is because I don't understand the poem, meaning that I wish to explore why we don't understand it and how metaphors are used to interpret the poem.

I could also interpreting the novel "1984" by George Orwell from a feminist perspective, as Julia is a complex character who is feminist to an extent, but to what extent I could investigate. The essay regarding Gender could be a possible match too.

Another possibility for my Coursework is reading "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller whilst using the anthology to compare the Marxist elements of the novel. It is a novel traditionally associated with the power of bureaucracy, however I could find elements of Marxism within the novel (once I have finished reading it).

  1. Three good ideas. The Eliot one could work as an essay on how you admire the aesthetically as well as through metaphor. The two novels might create a fair bit of work. The poem might be more manageable.
