Discuss the heroes of two of the following works, arguing for one as hero, one as antihero: Charlotte Temple, and Heart of Darkness. Be sure to define the terms “hero” and “antihero,” using Frye’s relevant types and the “consensus” definition, and show how your characters exemplify the specific features of those definitions of the hero and antihero.
Also, professor states this: The best advice/instruction I can give for the midterm and final essays:
A) Please be sure to edit your final draft carefully–after all, I’m an English professor. Proofread and make any handwritten edits you want to make even after it’s printed–neatness doesn’t count; clean, effective writing does. And please attach a scoring sheet–they’re on BB.
B) Don’t quote/discuss all the definitions or all of Frye’s types at the beginning of your essay: your essay should quote/discuss only the relevant ones, and do so only as they become relevant in your discussion. If you tell us all of that in detail at the start, we’ll be distracted by the definitions you’re not going to use and we’ll forget the ones you are going to use before you get around to the real discussion of them.
