1913.20642 Weaving a Maze of Identity: Moll Flanders, Feminine Identity, and Men
This 6-page undergraduate paper considers Daniel Defoe?s Moll Flanders, especially examining the thesis that one of the defining characteristics of Moll Flanders? life was her relationships with men and her attitudes towards them. This paper shows Moll?s "evolution" in her ideals pertaining to men. Briefly, this paper argues that in many ways, Moll Flanders can be defined by her relationships with men as she moves from naive victim of seduction to criminal to repentant and good wife. Her web of relationships interweave her moral, personal, and financial developments, as Moll takes on the financial status, name, and lifestyles of the men she associates herself with. Moll takes great pains in her narrative to suggest the ways in which instability within marriage eventually push her to poverty and crime. However, as much as Moll can be defined by relationships, it becomes clear that she also manipulates views of her relationships. Small clues in the text suggest that her own disguises and deceptions, as well as her avarice, not only affect her relationships but also her lifestyle and her life of crime. Moll, it becomes apparent, uses her relationships with men to define herself through them. That is, in having the narrative power to define her relationships with men, Moll defines herself very consciously, thus escaping the role of the passive woman defined by men. Ultimately, Moll?s identity is not only defined by herself, but that identity remains a mystery, wrapped by many layers of narrative disguises.

1914.20690 "Under the Heavy Weight of a Thousand Unrelenting Eyes": Nathaniel Hawthorne?s The Scarlet Letter and Puritan principles of Community Involvement
This 4-page undergraduate paper considers Nathaniel Hawthorne?s The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Frederick Binder and David Reimers, The Way We Lived, Vol. I: 1492-1877 in order to explore the idea that the story of Hester Prynne reflect Puritan principles. Specifically, this paper examines the ways in which Hester?s story suggests that for the Puritans, morality, family values, and religion were never separate from public life or from communities. In brief, this paper looks at the relationships which Hester has with her lover, her husband, her daughter, and her community, and concludes that Hester?s story reflects not only some of the realities, but also some of the more problematic aspects of Puritan culture. Hester?s relationships with her husband and her lover reveal the importance of patriarchy in Puritan culture, but these relationships also suggest some of the uncomfortable spaces patriarchy may posit women. Hester?s relationship with her daughter suggests the prevalence of community involvement in family morals, but also suggests that communities may have sometimes left families to develop with only observation and not with community interference. Hester?s relationship with the community suggests that observation and judgement may have played a role in Puritan society, which was concerned with upholding religious and moral standards, but that some fluidity allowed untraditional individuals and families to exist in the economic and social fiber of Puritan society.

1915.20773 Essentialism and Constructivism in Feminist Literature
This paper will discuss philosophical approaches to feminist literature through the scope of Essentialism and Constructivism. By showing examples of this in the works of Anne Asexton, Judith Wright, Phillis Wheatley, and others, we can assess how women tend to silence themselves from their true feminist visions. By analyzing some of the works they have created, we can find proof of this evasion from truth in a patriarchal society.

1916.20793 Gulliver?s Observation of and Interaction with Gender Roles in Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels
This 10-page graduate paper takes 3 episodes from Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels and discusses the gender roles of each situation, as well as Gulliver's interaction within those gender roles. Briefly, this paper concludes that in Jonathan Swift?s Gulliver Travels, Gulliver encounters a number of gender roles in the countries he visits. He tends to view these roles in terms of the roles he is familiar with in England. Thus, he tends to applaud patriarchal behaviour and he tends to view roles such as wife and mother as natural roles. In his encounter with the female Yahoo, however, Gulliver encounters a gender role, which is deeply disturbing. Not only does the Yahoo upset Gulliver?s sense traditional gender roles by acting as the sexual aggressor, but she also implicates Gulliver more deeply in gender politics. While Gulliver can view the Lilliputian Empress as a wife and the Brobdingnag wife as a mother, gender roles which allow him to maintain his agency as a male, the female Yahoo?s behaviour is more threatening. It posits him as an object of desire and identifies him as a specific species, facts which ultimately remove his agency. Simply, through her actions, the female Yahoo labels him just as Gulliver has labelled the Empress and the Brobdingnag mother through his narrative voice. The trauma Gulliver undergoes from his experience with the Yahoo compels him to exercise a despotic level of patriarchal authority upon his return home, in an attempt to re-establish his sense of traditional gender roles.

1918.20853 Hypocrisy of Religion in Voltaire's Candide
Voltaire?s dissatisfaction with institutionalized religion was a significant theme in ?Candide?. To him, the hypocrisy of religion that permeated France and the European culture was so disturbing that it could not be lightly tolerated. While Candide is a work that encompasses a number of themes, it is that of religious falseness that stands out so strongly. Voltaire lived a philosophical life that was guided by ideals of independent spirituality, of uncorrupted thought, even in the face of persecution. While he presented a critical view of religion, particularly French religious practice, in nearly all of his works, it was in Candide, that he truly hit an effective high point. It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate, through both primary and secondary source research, the extent and basic structures of Voltaire?s criticism of the hypocrisy of religion in Candide.
