Hi, I need help writing the 1500 word literary essay. My topic is 'Is Claire's justice justified?' and I'm doing it on 'the visit' by friedrich dürrenmatt. I've already written about what happens in the play (the necessary background), and a bit about the justice but i don't know how to proceed further. Can I get some ideas please?

thanks xx

Like behaa said, start by defining justice, you don't need a dictionary definition, put it into the context of the play. Durrenmatt does a wonderful job playing with the idea of revenge and justice and greatly blurs the line between the two.

 

I also think your topic needs a lot more work. "Is Claire's justice justified?" is oxymoronic. By virtue of being 'justice', an act is just. If it is unjustified, then it is a fallacy to call it justice.
