Blackcurrant Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) On the whole, your topic looks fine, though you should make the your thesis more explicitly literary. As it is currently phrased your topic risks a psychological treatment of the work. You intend, after all, to examine how the *writer /text* achieves this amplification, right? So rethink the phrasing of your topic to reflect this. Edited October 13, 2013 by Blackcurrant Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcurrant Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) A small addition to the above... To nail your topic in your own mind you want to ask yourself a couple of questions:1. Will I be creating an argument? ...or merely a list of examples proving the same point?2. Will I be able to provide sufficiently *varied* points for an argument?Well, three, actually3. With the two points above, will this topic give me enough material for the assignment?"Suppression of women's intelligence" is a bit vague. And, as I pointed out earlier, the way it is phrased leads easily to psychological explanations... You want to avoid this.
