The following are suggested topics for your midterm paper. You can analyze a work we read, or you can find something else you are interested in, as long as it is French literature. About the works we read, you can write on one of the following topics. If you do not want to write on one of these topics you can find something else that is really enjoyable or important for you personally, are interested in or can relate to your major or research, or that has an angle to which you can relate, as long as it has to do with French literature.
A. On Relationships in French Literature
Compare and contrast what the fox in The Little Prince says about relationships with what Montaigne says about relationships in his essay “Of Friendship.” Write about both similarities and differences. If you would like, you can also compare the descriptions in these two texts with the description of how the two people relate to each other in “Breakfast” by Jacques Prévert.
