Any one of the three essays below. How much?
Write a 3 to 5 pp. essay in which you articulate and defend, on the basis of quoted text, a Romantic, Marxist, or Feminist interpretation of FRANKENSTEIN's implied critique of applied science.
Write a 3 to 5 pp. essay in which you articulate and defend, on the basis of quoted text, a Marxist interpretation of GALILEO’s implied critique of applied science.
Write a 3 to 5 pp. essay in which you defend Victor or Galileo--and by implication the Enlightenment project of applying modern science to 'relieve man's estate'.
NB: In either of the first two of these essays, begin with an account of Victor's or Galileo's stated project of applying the new science to benefit humankind; proceed to show what in his life or story thwarts that project; and draw ethical conclusions.
In the third essay, begin with an account of the hero’s stated aim; show what in his life might seem (from a Romantic, Marxist, or Feminist standpoint) to belie it; and yet defend it as ultimately right-headed (and hearted).
