For your extra credit assignmnet, you will be writing a practice open ended essay. You will be placed on the honor system, so time 40 minutes, and do not use any notes, books, or friends. Please include a signature from a reliable source that will vouch for you in regards to these guidelines. Here is your topic:
In Kate Chopin's The Awakening (1899) the protagonist Edna Pontellier is said to possess "that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions." In a novel or play that you have studied, identify a character who conforms outwardly while questioning inwardly. Then write an essay in which you analyze how this tension between outward conformity and inward questioning contributes to the meaning of the work. Avoid mere plot summary.
You must select from one of the plays we have read in class.
This assignment is due no later than 3:30 on Thursday, March 5th.
