Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

In Act 1, Scene 1, Lady Sneerwell explains her plot to Snake. Joseph appears and makes his involvement evident. How would The School for Scandal be different without this plot being outlined in the beginning of the play?

Essay Topic 2

In the early part of Sheridan's play, Lady Teazle is fighting with her husband, Sir Peter, declaring that she deserves "everything that any woman has and more". At the end of the play, she appears to have gained "everything that any woman has and more". Write an essay focusing on your response to the following question: Is the "more" that she refers to a tangible or intangible object? Support your position with dialogue, text, and/or paraphrase from the play.

Essay Topic 3

In the prologue to the play, the statement is made that Sheridan is attempting an impossibility in abolishing participation in scandal through his writing. Write an essay to compare and contrast said statement with Sir Oliver's decision to conduct his own investigation of his nephew Charles rather than to listen to the findings of others. Does that action contribute to the addition of credence to or subtract it from said comment? Support your position by explaining whether and how the caliber of Sir Oliver's character helps to either edify or disprove the statement that is initially made about Sheridan.
