Essay Topic
Hey ya'll. So for my essay I'm going to explore three scenes, using Peter getting rejected by Clarissa as my main scene. My main theme is "major let downs". Thus using Peter's rejection, then Richard's inability to say "I love you" and then Septimus finally being happy and wanting to live before dying. I'm using the scene of Peter's rejection as an anchor because it seems to affect a lot of the characters later on (hence the flower/can't say I love you scene with Richard). At this point I'm thinking I might retract the septimus scene and instead focus on how the scene of Peter's rejection and Richard's I love you because they are similar. And then I will talk about how love can be a momentary event and how just the split seconds you feel in love...could forever change you life! My mind is running rampant and I can NO LONGER look at a screen. Gu-bye

I think the Peter/Richard contrast constitutes a good approach. Similarities and differences abound, and should provide plenty of fodder for your essay. Keep in mind, too, that 'Love and Religion' passage, as it seems to address the key differences in the relationship Clarissa has with Richard, and would have had with Peter (and may explain why she chooses the former over the latter). Is Richard really disappointed? Doesn't he succeed in a sense ("Happiness is this?")
