Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Fleming frequently relies on foreshadowing in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY to build suspense. Find three examples of this device in the novel and demonstrate how each works to involve the reader more deeply in the story.

Essay Topic 2

In the beginning of the first chapter an assassin disguised as a Royal Corps of Signals dispatch-rider kills an actual Royal Corps of Signals dispatch-rider as he is en route to deliver a top-secret case to headquarters. How does this disguise provide the spy with the advantage he needs to complete his mission. Discuss at least two other instances of the use and advantage of a disguise in the first chapter.

Essay Topic 3

"If foreign gangsters find they can get away with this kind of thing they'll decide the English are as soft as some other people seem to think we are. This is a case for rough justice--an eye for an eye." With these words to M in the second chapter, Bond reveals much about his idea of justice. Where in the novel do we see Bond carrying out this form of justice. Do Bond's actions in the novel ever contradict this idea? Use specific examples.
