 When I heard his words, and saw with my own eyes what passed between these two wretches, the world waxed dark before my face and my soul knew not in what place it was. But my wife humbly stood up weeping before and wheedling the slave, and saying: “O my beloved, and very fruit of my heart, there is none left to cheer me but thy dear self, and, if thou cast me off, who shall take me in, O my beloved, O light of my eyes?” And she ceased not weeping and abasing herself to him until he deigned be reconciled with her. Then was she right glad and stood up and doffed her clothes, even to her petticoat trousers, and said, “O my master, what hast thou here for thy handmaiden to eat?” “Uncover the basin,” he grumbled, “and thou shalt find at the bottom the broiled bones of some rats we dined on. Pick at them, and then go to that slop pot, where thou shalt find some leavings of beer which thou mayest drink.” So she ate and drank and washed her hands, and went and lay down by the side of the slave upon the cane trash and crept in with him under his foul coverlet and his rags and tatters.

1.  Although most of the texts that we have had this semester have focused on men, women have had a prominent role in several of the works.  Compare and contrast two of the female characters we have had this semester.   Although it is not required, do try to examine women from two different works.   In your essay, you must analyze the female characters in the works.  Some things you might consider are:   –   Are women heroines or villains in the work?  –   How do they affect the plot?     What is their relation to the hero of the work? This is NOT a checklist, but some ideas for you to start your brainstorming.  You must come up with your own thesis and prove it throughout the course of your essay.   2.  From the very beginning of the semester where we saw Gilgamesh leaving Uruk to seek adventure and knowledge in the wilderness, we have seen the importance of leaving civilization to the meaning of our texts.  Select one of the texts we have read this semester and discuss how a change in location affects the characters, meaning, theme, and/or symbolism of the work. In your essay, you must analyze how location affects the work and not just identify spots where characters leave civilization.  Some things you might consider are:    –   What knowledge do the characters gain by leaving civilization or their comfort zone? –   What things can be done outside the city that cannot be done in the city? –   What literary elements (motifs, themes, metaphor, etc) are created by leaving civilization? This is NOT a checklist, but some ideas for you to start your brainstorming.  You must come up with your own thesis and prove it throughout the course of your essay.
