Thesis Statements

1.      Body shaming is a serious crime since it denounces its victims and decimates their self-respect.

2.      Introducing sex education as part of curriculum is the first step in destigmatizing sex.

3.      Jeo Baby’s Malayalam movie Great Indian Kitchen is a reading of myths and superstitions prevailing in Kerala society.

4.      The concept of reservation system in India based on caste is very dissolutional since it contradicts secularism and leads to a nation of casteism.

5.      The novel Corpse Washer which is characterized by powerless individuals and nonsensical authorities by Sinon Antoon is a Kafkaesque fable.

6.       Rajiv Anchal’s Guru is a highly metaphorical movie which bears some thematic semblance with Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

7.      The portrayal of alpha males in Indian films reflects the misogynistic ideals of Indian society.

8.      The novel Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert mirrors one’s quest for self-revelation and oneness.

9.     Social media should not be used for political and religious propaganda as it is an unethical act against the secular and liberal nature of society.

10.  Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mocking Bird is a novel which reflects the racial prejudice of the Whites to the Blacks.

    All the thesis statements are good but felt that the 9th one (social media) could have been a better thesis statement if 'should not be' was replaced by 'is'.

    Good ideas.I felt usage of 'since' could have been replaced with because or other similar words.

LEC052004. Agna Philip. "Critical analysis of the significance of Lear's madness in King Lear"

Critical analysis of the significance of Lear’s madness in King Lear      Lear, the tragic hero of Shakespeare’s play King Lear is a king whose insane behaviour contributes a significant part in the play. His madness paved the way for his redemption and made him a better human. It also serves to provide a message to the leaders of Jacobean England as well.    Lear’s decision to divide the kingdom was an insane behaviour of suspicion. “Myths abounded about the catastrophic consequences of such division, leading to bloody civil war and fratricide. Shakespeare was writing during the reign of James I, a king seeking to strengthen ties between his two hostile kingdoms, England and Scotland” (Fox 255). Lear’s lunacy to divide the kingdom and its terrible consequences are portrayed as a caution for King James. Moreover, the play aids King James to realize the strength of natural power over human potency.    The effect of storm made Lear understand the insign...

LEC052001 Adwaidh. S Critical analysis of the equivocator in Macbeth

  Equivocation in Macbeth can be examined in the light of historical events. The playwright uses equivocators to condemn and criticize the act of equivocation practiced by the Jesuit Priests of  England, who planned the gun powder plot to execute the king James I of Scotland . Throughout Macbeth's life equivocation is playing crucial roles from his transformation into the king to his tragic death. In Macbeth there are more episodes of equivocation, compared to a single episode in Shakespeare's early play Hamlet , which was written in 1599. The play is filled with equivocal appearances-women with beard, Macbeth in "borrowed robes", a day turned into night, a peaceful castle without and a burning cauldron of evil within.  The Gunpowder Plot was discovered in 1605,finding father Henry Garnet guilty of the plan. Macbeth was written in 1606,with much more episodes of equivocation than the early play Hamlet which was written in 1599 and had only a single episode of equiv...
