Analytical essay on a topic of your choice (5-6 pages double-spaced, citing relevant texts). You must employ close readings that shape a coherent argument (something not obvious) about the text.
This course has been about introducing students to the origins and evolution of literature through an examination of some of the earliest texts that have shaped the literary history of the world. Reading sacred texts (such as the the Book of Genesis, selections from the Qur’an, or works from other traditions), epics (such as Gilgamesh and The Odyssey), dramas (by Euripedes), philosophical dialogue (Plato), literary theory (Aristotle), folklore, and poetry, we will study the historical, thematic, and stylistic origins of the literary genres and texts that have endured since antiquity. Among the larger questions that we will consider are the personal and social functions of reading and writing; the complex uses that writers make of the material they inherit from their traditions; the politics of canon-formation; and the role literature can play in a liberal education.
I am thinking about writing about Medea.
Please exclude Gilgamesh and the Odyssey as I have already written about those.
I have attached some files for reference.
