How has the family changed across the three authors’ works? Your essay might consider how family is defined, how families function, “where” families are, and how such things as love, conflict, and obedience come into play. What kind of identity do these various families offer? That is, what difference does family make to how someone defines himself or herself, and to how others define him or her? Is family largely good? Are all families in these works constructed on the basis of blood relationship? Or might there be constructed families? How does family relate to larger units, such as society and/or nation? You need not address any or all of these questions in your essay, but you should strive to teach your reader something meaningful about the subject. In any case, you’ll want to define your terms carefully and make reference to specific passages in the texts you mention. A B Chaucer Shakespeare Austen OR Pope Rossetti Eliot
