Literary Analysis Essay -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need an analytical essay on multiple works by different authors.
Requirements:
- Deep understanding of various literary texts
- Strong analytical skills
- Excellent writing proficiency
Ideal Skills & Experience:
- Background in English literature
- Experience with analytical essays
- Ability to interpret and compare different literary works
This time we need EIGHT paragraphs (not seven) and approximately 2400 words (approx. 300 words per paragraph; paragraph one might be longer and paragraph eight shorter).
Paragraph ONE should preview some of the topic ideas for paragraphs two-through-six. Students should identify each of the four works and say something very specific about each one--a specific detail or dynamic we will see again in paragraphs two-through-six.
Paragraphs TWO and THREE must address The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Do not summarize the story. There should be only one general idea in each paragraph: that's the topic idea. After that, identify the work and the specific episode or scenario in the story that you feel supports that topic idea. Make sure the rest of the paragraph features specific knowledge--dynamic details--in your words as pertaining to that episode or scenario. It's not possible to address the entirety of this novel. So don't try. Paragraphs two and three should each feature one particular episode or scenario in the story. Forays beyond that scenario are necessarily limited.
For paragraphs FOUR, FIVE, and SIX, students choose three other titles from our list in the Course Schedule of our syllabus (see list below). Each of these three paragraphs addresses one work from that list.
Paragraph SEVEN is your reflection on Victorian values--what stands out to you.
Paragraph EIGHT is an epilogue/coda. Don't start with a topic idea. Start with a specific detail or dynamic you held back from one of your four Victorian titles. Then conclude with a final reflection on Victorian values.
Below is a copy of our list of Victorian titles in the Course Schedule of the syllabus:
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (741) - Everybody must do this novel in our book (pars. 2-3)
Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (350).
Robert Browning's "Porphyria's Lover" (409).
Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "The Blessed Damozel" (617) or "My Sister's Sleep" (621).
Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" (641).
Algernon Charles Swinburne's "Hermaphroditus" (704).
Gerard Manley Hopkins's "God's Grandeur" (722), "The Windhover" (724), "Pied Beauty" (725), "Thou Art Indeed Just, Lord" (730).
From Hopkins's Terrible Sonnets: "[Carrion Comfort]" (728), "I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day" (729), "No worst, there is none" (729), and "That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection" (730).
