Ok... I think I'm finished with the Lear/ Rivals paper.... although, I will probably re-read what I've written tomorrow and hate every word.
Well, I'm officially done with dwelling on this paper... because if I think about it anymore I will drive myself insane. Not too long ago, I read a quote by Proust and I absolutely adored it.... so I have to post it:
"Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind."-- Remembrance of Things Past. The Past Recaptured.
Out of Sheer Curiosity...

In One Hundred Years Of Solitude, the main family obviously shares the last
name of Buendia. Does it seem to anyone else that the name could represent
some...

Essays are naturally like that. You obsess, re-work, fix, obsess, re-work. Suddenly, you get to a point and say: enough. It isn't going to change without MASSIVE revisions so I have to accept it and move on. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Did you use the Proust quote as an epigraph?
Well, I did massive revisions tonight because my paper was awful.
Just so you know, I had to look up 'epigraph'. No, the quote isn't a theme in my paper.... I would be amazed if I could somehow pull that off.
Last year for Christmas, my 'sister' gave me "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" (I know that was supposed to be underlined, but I can't figure out how to underline things in comments.) and I occasionally peruse it (I know, I'm a geek). Anyhoo, I came across that quote and I had to post it.
