Kedves Hallgatók!
Tegnap éjszaka beírtam az ETR-be az ígért esszécímeket, de ma reggelig én sem kaptam meg
az emailt, úgyhogy a biztonság kedvéért küldöm őket még egyszer. Mivel emlékezetből írom
be újra a címeket, remélem, kb. ugyanazt írom (mindegyik változat jó lesz). Egy változtatás
tudatos: az utolsóból kihagytam a "the Other"-t, mivel rájöttem, hogy a Dad's Armynak
aránylag kevés részében jelennek meg a németek, és az angolság kérdése sokkal érdekesebb,
illetve a 7.-hez írtam egy magyarázatot. Megjegyzésként még annyit: a címek mindegyik
szava fontos!
Tehát:
1. Black and/or White: A Close Reading of the Colour Symbolism in Conrad's The Heart
of Darkness
2. Narrative Strategy and the Voice of the Community in Doris Lessing's The Grass is Singing
3. A Room of One's Own? A Psychic Space of Clarissa Dalloway's
4. The Function of Memories from "Home" in Golding's Lord of the Flies
5. Why Not Cliff? Analyse Alison and Cliff's Relationship in Osborne's Look Back in Anger
6. Self and Narration in Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary (or in Nick Hornby's High
Fidelity)
7. The Function of Some Cultural Allusion in John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman
(choose a few related ones if possible and do a close reading of them)
8. The Function of Theatre and Theatricality in Beryl Bainbridge's An Awfully Big Adventure
9. Nature and Culture in D.H. Lawence's The Virgin and the Gipsy
10. Englishness in an Episode of Dad's Army (comedy series)

Jó munkát,
