(no subject)

Last night I dreamed (among other things) that I'd written the essay that I have due on Wednesday for my 19th-century novel class. Since currently I have absolutely no ideas what to write about, I spent the past ten minutes trying to remember how I'd worked it.

. . . turns out I dream-wrote about the interaction between the individual and society in Emma and, uh, Superman. UNHELPFUL, SUBCONSCIOUS.

If sadly unapplicable to my present situation. :P

You know you want to doooooooo it anyway.

Gah, though: I was an English Lit major and I don't want to have to write any sort of essays on 19th-century novels. You could always write about what hidden feminists all the women are in books from that era. That's popular. Unfortunately, then you'd have to prove it.

What's the essay guideline?

It's a kind of strange topic: something that we have (or have not) learned or thought about in a new way because of Emma, Wuthering Heights, and Barchester Towers. (Definitely an 'and', by the way, not an 'and/or'.) I don't mind 19th-century novels - in fact I find them kind of fun a lot of the time - but I'm scratching my head over a theme for all three!

Well, if you need me, I'll be over there in the corner reading Howl's Moving Castle. *helpful as ever*

Good luck?

*giggles* Thanks! I will be over here, writing and envying you. :D
