Huge fan of the way I choose essay titles and go absolutely batshit over doors in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for like a month

#upon being told that we could write an essay on literally anything we liked. I chose the battle of hastings & the bayeux tapestry. #I even included pictures of postcards I’d bought at the museum there #other things I’ve Been Weird about in essays: #colloquial american english and free verse in william carlos williams poetry. I chose him from a massive list of poets for the sole reason #that i thought his name was funny. (and the topic itself was a spur of the moment thing but boy did I get invested) #William Carlos Williams’ poem Complete Destruction. I wrote an 800 word critical review of it. the entire poem is 33 words long. #the theme of love in Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill’s collection Rogha Dánta SPECIFICALLY the part where I go off on Michael Harnett translating wrong #and then offer my own translation even though - and this is very important - I speak Irish badly #the film The 400 Blows which I exclusively refer to in the original French title throughout my essay for the sole reason of bumping up my #word count. this goes twice because I did a presentation on the film AND then chose to write an essay on it too #meta and micro narrative in Frankenstein….something I did not actually understand until I was 600 words intro the essay and I was wrong. #kinda went weird about Frankenstein for a bit there but Jean-François Lyotard can eat a sock #the Oresteia. just in general though I particularly got weird about Clytemnestra. I also rewrote Antigone as a children’s story #my own post #sometimes writing an essay about something you don’t actually care about before you begin can be so personal
