Moliere's 'Tartuffe' And Voltaire's 'Candide' / The Role Of Women
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper on the difference in the amount of autonomy afforded women in these two classic works of French literature. The paper observes that while we would expect sex roles in seventeenth-century Moliere to be more restrictive than in eighteenth-century Voltaire, precisely the reverse is true; a penetrating analysis postulates the reason for this.

Dreamer: Martin Luther King Jr.
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper which discusses the character of
Martin Luther King Jr. in the book 'Dreamer' by Charles Johnson. Johnson's book
presents a fictional illustration of King, yet apparently seems to have grasped a great deal
of who King really was. He presents the reader with a fictional account of King's
struggles, through the use of a narrator, Smith, who looks exactly like King, and becomes
part of King's group, hoping to help their cause. The character of King is incredibly
detailed, but also complex in light of Smith presenting himself as another aspect of King.

Gilgamesh and Candide as ‘Quest' Novels
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper discussing the genre of the quest novel in general, and how Gilgamesh and Voltaire's Candide fit into it. The novel concludes that while it does feature a journey, Candide ultimately fails to pass the test of being a quest novel because Candide does not learn anything from his quest; he remains as stupid as ever. No additional sources cited.

Gilgamesh and Genesis: A Religious Comparison

A six page look at these two ancient stories in terms of their philosophy toward the continuity of life. The paper suggests that the Sumerians, in fact, felt that since death was the end of everything, humans’ responsibility is to live vigorously and well; the Hebrews, on the other hand, found their own “salvation” in community and tradition, which insured an ongoing and consistent expression of faith despite the deaths of individual members. Bibliography lists
seven sources.
