Proposal

I've been debating on whether or not I should attack the themes of Antigone & The Odyssey, or I should delve into the language aspect of these two Greek tragedies. I've come to the conclusion that perhaps I'd have more subject matter, and more room to compare & contrast if I just chose to give a comprehensive analogy of the style of writing in each of these tales. I feel a solid comparison of the two styles of writing, the language in each story, and the reasons why the authors in that period chose this particular style of writing would help illuminate certain thoughts to my readers that they probably didn't think of. It is my understand that we are to look at the text itself more in this class, rather than the story itself. What I have learned so far in Scott's class this semester is how to analyze the writing itself has a whole, and then try and establish meaning, and value out of it. Interpretation is simply that, a mere interpretation. However, I feel that I can give my readers a rock solid understanding of each of these comprehensive, and vastly detailed stories. Focusing on the writing itself, the text, the literature, rather then trying to interpret it as a whole, will be my ultimate goal. I am completely open to suggestions, or guidance to focus my efforts even further. Thank you for your time, and consideration on the matter. See you all friday.
