Assignment Questions  文学final essay代写

Answer one of the following questions:

1. Discuss how either Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice or Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations treats what Ian Watt calls ‘the problem of individual identity’.

2. Compare and contrast the treatment of racism in Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’ and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.

3. Compare and contrast the ways in which two or more fairytales studied on the course reflect and represent specific social and/or psychological tensions. For example, you may choose to discuss how fairytales treat class conflict or you could examine how anxieties about sexuality and gender roles are reflected in fairytales we have studied.

4. Near the end of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Claudia expresses doubts about her ability to tell the truth about Pecola’s experience. To what extent is Claudia a reliable narrator?

Structure and Guidance Notes

 The assignment requires students to demonstrate an ability to locate literary texts within specific cultural and social contexts and to provide detailed analysis of literary texts.

In order to answer this question well, you should divide your answer into two sections.

The first section should address the question in broad cultural and social terms. In order to do this, you will need to refer to at least one but ideally more than one secondary academic text. The secondary academic text or texts you select may include one or more of those published on the World Literature Moodle site.

The second section should focus on close critical readings of the primary text or texts you have chosen. Pay close attention to key formal and stylistic features in your text(s) and apply your understanding of these features to literary contexts that are relevant to the question you are responding to as well as to the study of world literature.

You should frame your response by including a brief statement of your main argument in relation to your chosen texts in your introduction.

Your essay must be referenced accurately according to Harvard Referencing conventions. Include a bibliography at the end of the essay. Remember that this is a literature essay: primary and secondary texts must be referenced throughout the essay and must be included in your reference list at the end of the essay.

The skills being assessed in this assignment:

1. Analyse and evaluate the linguistic features of literary texts on the course.


2. Contextualize literary texts in cultural and social terms.


3. Clearly define and explain concepts and themes in your own words.


4. Use concepts accurately in analysing examples.


5. Make clear – providing relevant examples – how theories and research can help us to reflect critically on particular themes relevant to the study of world literature.

Clearly reference the sources drawn upon.
