Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Diana notes that, passing near St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, she “felt a surge of energy that reminded [her] of the temple to the goddess near Sept-Tours. Deep under the cathedral, something sensed [her] presence. It responded with a whisper, a slight stirring beneath [her] feet, a sigh of acknowledgement—and then it was gone” (241). Based on the novel and what it reveals of the author’s outside reading, what might that “something” be? Why might it be so?
Essay Topic 2
Philippe comments that what Matthew “possesses is belief, which is quite different [from faith] and depends on the head rather than the heart” (136). Is the comment about the relationship between belief and faith accurate within the context of the novel? What in the text indicates that it is or is not? How does it do so?
Essay Topic 3
Consider the comments about The Faerie Queene that Diana and Marlowe make at the beginning of the fifth chapter (58). To what extent can they be taken as indicative of the author’s regard for the work? What in the text indicates as much? How does it do so?
