Final Paper

So for my final paper I am planning on analyzing three of Maupassant's short stories and tying them into Lakoff's text about "Anger". At the moment, "The Little Cask" and "The Drunkard" will definitely be part of this analysis and I am still working on the third story because I want to be able to have the option to also incorporate the concept of "addiction" and can use some of Freud's analysis for this. I also have the option of focusing on feminist criticism to emphasize the anger used against women in Maupassant's stories. So with a bit more research, I should be able to decide which way I want to go with this.
