1980: A recurring theme in Literature is the classic war between a passion and responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict with the moral duty. Choose a literary work in which a character confronts the demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities. I n a well written essay, show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significant to the work.

Open Ended

1983: From a novel or play of literary merit, select an important character who is a villain. Then, in a well-organized essay, analyze the nature of the character's villainy and show how it enhances meaning in the work. Do not merely summarize the plot.
