Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Though Maud does not yet know the extent and shape of Richard's deception, her journey through dark, winding alleys to a strange house in the slums foreshadows both the deception and the twisting developments in the final stages of implementing Richard's plan.
1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.
2. How does the movement through the dark, winding alleys reflect Maud's mental or spiritual darkening?
3. How has your perception of Maud changed from the first introduction of her to her passage through the dark alleys?
Essay Topic 2

1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.
2. Why do you think the appearance of a situation does not always reflect the truth of a situation? Use examples from the book and your own life to support your answer.
3. When someone is ignorant of the truth of a situation, do you think she/he should make any decisions about that situation? Why or why not?
Essay Topic 3
Sue's description of being lulled into a daze in the asylum must be compared to Maud's life at Briar. Once the comparison is made, the reader must see that the boredom, the sameness of routine, the darkness of their surroundings lull both Sue and Maud into a sort of dazed and complacent compliance.
1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.
2. Compare what is happening to Sue with what you have heard of people held in a long term hostage situation.
