For Monday, October 28

Write a well thought-out essay over Lewis's characterization of perverted love and agape love, manipulative love vs. giving love, selfishness vs. selflessness, Orual vs. Psyche.

Essay should be between 500 and 750 words.  Primarily use chapters 13, 14, 15 although 10 and 11 have some awesome quotes as well.  Use quotes that best support the assertion made in your thesis.  Remember to embed your quotes in your own sentences rather than quoting long passages or even full sentences. 

Read Chapters 16 and 17. 

A few thesis sentences we came up with in class:

In the novel Till We Have Faces, C.S. Lewis juxtaposes _______________________ :
 


To encourage readers to recognize the effects of perverted love and aspire to selfless love.

Divine love and selfish love cannot co-exist in an individual.

To demonstrate a positive divine love cannot come from a degrading manipulative love.

Corrupt selfish love and pure divine love through the characters of Orual and Psyche.

To demonstrate the importance of choosing divine love over fleshly love.
