8.	2612 The Characters of Othello and Jane Eyre as 'Other'.
	Both Shakespeare's Othello and Bronte's Jane Eyre feature the theme of the treatment of the 'other' a theme that situates the protagonist, in both of these texts, in a disadvantaged position vis-a-vis the dominant culture. In varying ways, the characters of Othello and Jane Eyre both experience the difficulties of being different, or apart from the status quo. Othello's color sets him notably apart from those around him. For Jane Eyre, it is her low social status, at least at the novel's beginning, although Jane is doubly disadvantaged being both impoverished and female. In both cases, the protagonists are treated with contempt, as if their status of 'other' renders such behavior on part of the dominant culture acceptable. But beneath this theme of marginalization and otherness that manifests itself in both of these texts is a journey into the self: a journey that ends in tragedy for Othello, as his is a path to self-deception, but one of self-discovery and maturation for Jane Eyre. 6 pgs. 19 f/c. 2b.

11.	2534 On The Theme of Self-Knowledge And Human Nature In Shakespeare's Othello and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
	This paper is an analysis of William Shakespeare's Othello, and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Although both works were published over 300 years apart, it will be argued that they share in a number of themes. It will be argued that both works are important to the question or problem of self-knowledge, and further, it will be argued that this self-knowledge is an extension of the awareness of 'evil' or 'cruelty'. Both works also display human nature at its very worst. 6 pgs. 11 f/c. 2b.

12.	1511 A Question of Desire: The Priority of Love Over Friendship.
	The Roman politician and philosopher Cicero, in his writings on friendship, conceived of it as being a high-order relationship; a relationship that was so intense and personal that it seems, in his view, to be more important than any other human bond. However, Cicero was a philosopher and, as such, was honour bound to give consideration to opposing arguments. One view of friendship in particular - what may be termed the cynical or realistic thesis - caused him great difficulty in his discussion. From this perspective, friendship is nothing more than a mode of exchange or an association between two parties for mutual profit or benefit. In this paper we will examine the reasons behind Cicero's difficulty in dismissing this counter-definition of friendship. As a counterpoint to Cicero's view of friendship, we will analyze the depiction of love in the love poetry of John Donne. 5 pgs. 10 f/c. 2b.

13.	1726 The Representation of Corruption in Dante's Inferno, Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale", and Shakespeare's Hamlet.
	A focus upon how these three giants of European literature represent a particular aspect of their cultural and social contexts would lead to insights, not only into their societies, but into how artists manipulate contextual material for their own aesthetic or critical purposes. Examining their treatment of the theme of social corruption in three representative texts, we will see that all three writers were engaged/removed to different degrees with regard to their social contexts. This paper will argue that, of the three writers, the Florentine Dante is the most directly engaged with the theme of corruption in his society. 8 pgs. 12 f/c. 4b.
