Write a comparison between power in “The Castle of Otranto” and “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Lit charts are attached which summarize the novels and discuss symbols and themes, though it is helpful if you have read the novels.
Here is the thesis statement:
Each in their own domain, the two novels show that the perception of power is often incongruous with the effectual bearing of power: to have a reputation for power is antithetical to actually wielding that power.
Essay minimum: 1700 words
Please do not reference any outside sources, just the two novels. You can use symbols, characters, setting, Gothic trends, etc. Whatever you need to support the thesis. Include a strong introductory paragraph with the thesis statement above and a well-written conclusion.
The rough draft is needed in 5 hours, can extend after to finish working on the essay.
