302.20642 Weaving a Maze of Identity: Moll Flanders, Feminine Identity, and Men
This 6-page undergraduate paper considers Daniel Defoe?s Moll Flanders, especially examining the thesis that one of the defining characteristics of Moll Flanders? life was her relationships with men and her attitudes towards them. This paper shows Moll?s "evolution" in her ideals pertaining to men. Briefly, this paper argues that in many ways, Moll Flanders can be defined by her relationships with men as she moves from naive victim of seduction to criminal to repentant and good wife. Her web of relationships interweave her moral, personal, and financial developments, as Moll takes on the financial status, name, and lifestyles of the men she associates herself with. Moll takes great pains in her narrative to suggest the ways in which instability within marriage eventually push her to poverty and crime. However, as much as Moll can be defined by relationships, it becomes clear that she also manipulates views of her relationships. Small clues in the text suggest that her own disguises and deceptions, as well as her avarice, not only affect her relationships but also her lifestyle and her life of crime. Moll, it becomes apparent, uses her relationships with men to define herself through them. That is, in having the narrative power to define her relationships with men, Moll defines herself very consciously, thus escaping the role of the passive woman defined by men. Ultimately, Moll?s identity is not only defined by herself, but that identity remains a mystery, wrapped by many layers of narrative disguises.

303.20793 Gulliver?s Observation of and Interaction with Gender Roles in Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels
This 10-page graduate paper takes 3 episodes from Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels and discusses the gender roles of each situation, as well as Gulliver's interaction within those gender roles. Briefly, this paper concludes that in Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels, Gulliver encounters a number of gender roles in the countries he visits. He tends to view these roles in terms of the roles he is familiar with in England. Thus, he tends to applaud patriarchal behaviour and he tends to view roles such as wife and mother as natural roles. In his encounter with the female Yahoo, however, Gulliver encounters a gender role, which is deeply disturbing. Not only does the Yahoo upset Gulliver?s sense traditional gender roles by acting as the sexual aggressor, but she also implicates Gulliver more deeply in gender politics. While Gulliver can view the Lilliputian Empress as a wife and the Brobdingnag wife as a mother, gender roles which allow him to maintain his agency as a male, the female Yahoo?s behaviour is more threatening. It posits him as an object of desire and identifies him as a specific species, facts which ultimately remove his agency. Simply, through her actions, the female Yahoo labels him just as Gulliver has labelled the Empress and the Brobdingnag mother through his narrative voice. The trauma Gulliver undergoes from his experience with the Yahoo compels him to exercise a despotic level of patriarchal authority upon his return home, in an attempt to re-establish his sense of traditional gender roles.

304.20873 An Analysis of History and Memory in Ulysses by James Joyce
In this study we will examine the nature of memory and history, as found within episode two of Ulysses by James Joyce. By taking an extract of Joyce's novel, we can learn how he shows the tendency for mankind to relate history, much like a fable or story. In this way, we can question memory and history in a far more cynical manner than modern man would like to adhere to.

In Jame Joyce's story "Eveline", we can see how fear of change, and romantic defeatism prohibit Eveline from embarking on a journey with Frank to Buenos Aires, and marrying this honourable man. She makes an error by refusing to change, and letting herself become a victim of her neighbourhood and the depressing life she has become accustomed to.

306.21155 A Poetic Analysis of How do I Love thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
This paper will conduct a poetical analysis of the poem How do I Love thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. By analyzing the symbolism, Irnoy, and tone of the poem, we can suggest an Industrial Age mindset, which clashes with religious conviction within Barrett's poem. By analyzing these themes, we can see how eternity is the love that Barrett espouses within her text.

I select a short passage from each and unpack the ways the language Chaucer uses helps create the meaning in the tale.
