English Literature Essay Assignment 1: King Lear

Order 100% Plagiarism free paper

Choose a passage from King Lear or Pride and Prejudice that you find significant, difficult, interesting, odd, or surprising—or ideally, some combination of all of these things. Do not choose a passage that has been discussed at length in class, unless you have a wholly different perspective to offer. A passage that has been touched upon or mentioned in passing, without considerable time spent, is fine.
The length of the passage is up to you, but, roughly speaking, it should be at least 4-5 lines and no more than 2 pages.
In an essay of approximately 3 pages, explain why the passage you have chosen matters. Why does it deserve the kind of careful attention you are giving it? What does it add to the work or reveal about characters, situations, etc.? How does it function in the larger context of the story line or plot?
Try to balance careful, close analysis of the language, context, subject matter, and relevance of what is happening in the passage with its role in the larger work.
*Be sure to include your passage with your final essay. You may choose to put it at the start of your essay, if itis quite short. Otherwise, please attach it on a separate page.
Let me know which PASSage you choose and why you choose it before you start because if it was discussed in class, you can’t write about it. Thanks!
