After reading Shakuntala, I was really interested in how fascinated people were (and still are today) at the thought of love at first sight.

For the second project I had decided to write a paper about the most interesting character in The Dew Breaker.

I think that has its positives and negatives, but overall, it does make me an asshole either way. Now, why am I… Read more I’m an asshole and directors seem to know.

Question 1: What was the view on women like so far in Equiano? Do you think it was because of the time in history or simply because thats the way they were? Since I have read “Equiano” before not saying it is alright but at this time in history women did not have anywhere near… Read more Questions and Reflections
