  1. World Literature II Picks

  2. Mary Shelley created a masterpiece with words. In her creation of her novel, Frankenstein, huge amounts of symbolic references flow out of her complex yet beautiful words. Although it may be a tricky read, however, with effort, it is well worth it. If you enjoy symbolism and catching it while it flows with words, read Frankenstein. The biggest question Mary Shelley leaves you with in this novel is, 'Who is the real monster?'

  3. A young man who returns to 1940s Cajun country to teach visits a black youth on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Together they come to understand the heroism of resisting.

  4. The 1958 novel chronicles the life of Okonkwo, the leader of an Igbo (Ibo) community, from the events leading up to his banishment from the community for accidentally killing a clansman, through the seven years of his exile, to his return. Addresses the problem of the intrusion in the 1890s of white missionaries and colonial government into tribal Igbo society, and describes the simultaneous disintegration of its protagonist.

  5. Shakespearean Plays: King Lear, A Midsummer’s Dream, Macbeth, and/or Hamlet. It’s Shakespeare, need I say more?

  6. In a small village in India, a simple peasant woman recalls her life as a child bride, a farmer's wife, and a devoted mother amidst fights to meet changing times, poverty, and disaster.
