Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

During the novel, we find out that Madelyne experiences a difficult childhood and her life does not improve as long as she is under the thumb of Louddon. Yet throughout the novel, Madelyne's typical response to a difficulty is to show mercy, sometimes to a complete stranger. How and to whom does Madelyne show mercy? In particular, why does she show mercy to Duncan? How does Madelyne's merciful behavior affect Duncan and his brothers? Compare and contrast the the experience that Madelyne has with receiving mercy and giving mercy.

Essay Topic 2

What does the author tell us about Morcar? What is his effect on the other characters in the novel, especially Adela, Madelyne, Duncan and Gerald? What does Duncan learn from Gerald's fight with Morcar on the battlefield? Why is Morcar in the novel? What part does he play in the romantic relationships in the novel, and in particular, the relationship between Madelyne and Duncan? What, if anything, does the author tell the reader about the consequences of evil deeds? Pick three ways that the author uses the character of Morcar to advance some aspect of the story. Provide examples from the novel to support your argument.

Essay Topic 3

A major theme in the novel is the importance of family. At the beginning of the novel, Madelyne wants to know if Gilard is angry because Louddon sullies the family name by raping Adela, or if the brothers actually care for their sister. Gilard says the reason they kidnap Madelyne is to take what Louddon most values. Do the Wextons, Madelyne and Louddon start out with the same or different opinions of the value of family? Compare and contrast the importance of family for Duncan, Madelyne and Louddon. Discuss whether the amount that a character values family is one of the deciding factors in the success or failure of their lives. Provide examples from the book to support your conclusions.
