Comparative Essay Idea no. 1...

I would like to be able to write on both The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and the Sorrow of War. This is because I have made a connection with both texts and I think that there will be a lot of paths which one can venture down, because of the relationships expressed in both novels. My first thoughts are that I would like to write my comparative essay about the concept of love/ contrasting relationships. I would obviously look at Kien and Phuong in the Sorrow of War, but within The Unbearable Lightness there are many different relationships that I could explore (Tomas and Tereza/ Tomas and Sabina/ Franz and his wife/ Franz and Sabina etc) . I assume that if I do chose this as my essay topic, I will write on Tomas and Tereza because those characters in the novel, have been looked at in greatest depth by our class. These are just ideas at this stage however I am pretty certain that I will study the two novels stated above.
