Comparative Essay
Instructions
A recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and responsibility. For instance, a
personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict with moral duty. Choose two novels or plays, three poems or two short stories in which a character confronts the demands of a private passion that conflict with his or her responsibilities. In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significance to the works. Do not merely summarize plot.
