Essay

Right now I am currently in a dilemma. I can’t decide whether or not to discuss the irony aspect or the trickster aspect over the readings we have been studying. I really want to discuss the irony in the passing of Grandison and how after the colonel boasts of Grandison’s faithfulness, and Grandison’s constant expression towards his faithfulness that he still escapes. Not only does he escape, but he also helps his family escape. But at the same time I want to talk about Grandisons as a trickster as well as Dick and Charity .      

                Then I also wanted to talk about the role that women play, I thought I could talk about Charity and then the infidelity of the wife from the short story the storm. I just want to express how these two women really have this control over there men. Charity making Dick “free a slave”, and Dick only doing it in hopes that he can have Charity. And then the infidelity and the stress that relationships can cause. I just like the idea that men can so easily be influenced by women, and how women can have so many secrets and abilities to achieve what they want in these stories.

Ah! Decisions, decisions!
