Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Wodehouse parodies the upper class mercilessly. In fact, during his lifetime, this parody was not appreciated by Britian's ruling class. What in these stories would offend an upper-class person? How would they feel about Jeeves being much more intelligent and powerful than his foppish master, Bertie? Would the upper-class reader be threatened by Jeeves?
Essay Topic 2
A protagonist is one who undergoes some change. Jeeves is a fully formed and never-changing character, so it follows that Bertie must be the protagonist in the book.
What changes does Bertie undergo? What is Bertie's story line? What challenges does he face? How does Bertie overcome the challenges? Is he a true protagonist? Does he have any real shift of perception, or is he simply a one-dimensional comic figure?
Essay Topic 3
Jeeves has become, over time, a very popular and enduring character. In some way, he has become an archetype. Describe the character of Jeeves, and discuss what it is about the character that is so interesting and has made such a mark upon popular culture. Use examples from the book.
