Need an essay about the protagonist of Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee

Write a literary essay on Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee

Novel: Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee

Be aware that you will be writing about a novel, which in its broadest sense is any extended fictional narrative almost always in prose, in which the representation of character is often the focus. Good authors use the elements of fiction, such as plot, theme, setting etc. purposefully, with a very clear goal in mind. One of the paths to literary analysis is to discover what the author's purpose is with each of his choices. Avoid the problem that many students have, which is to hold the erroneous assumption that  simply retelling what happened in detail is good enough (no, it is not). Plot summary is necessary, but not the intended goal in a literary essay.

Criteria:

In addition to being written at college level, your essay must meet the following criteria.

• Include an introduction with a clear thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

• Use at least three quotes from the book.
• When citing your sources, use MLA style for literary essays. It is helpful to keep your handbook open to the MLA tab as you write.
• Minimum 850 words (more complex topics might require more)
• Language: This is a composition class -- your writing and grammar count.
• Thesis statement must be: David Lurie is a complex character who has always found pleasure in women his whole life and doesn’t regret his actions, but Lucy’s disgrace changes his perspective in an interesting way.
• The essay must have at least one quote of each of these articles:http://go.galegroup.com.db16.linccweb.org/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&u=lincclin_mdcc&v=2.1&id=GALE%7CA354858556&it=r&asid=1364ad6ff428c74cb5c12700b3eceb58.&authCount=1http://go.galegroup.com.db16.linccweb.org/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&u=lincclin_mdcc&v=2.1&id=GALE|A400038924&it=r&asid=b62b2152ead76208c54881a50c051d07.&authCount=1
