Write an essay (minimum of three pages - space and a half, Times font, size 14) on any of the following themes from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof . If you feel another theme is appropriate, that is fine. Please run it by me first, though.
Your essay will be graded primarily on the depth of thought demonstrated and on your ability to communicate with me how this play made you think, or how it might even possibly alter your view of life.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of essay themes:
Lying
Greed
Sibling rivalry
Mistreating loved ones
The effect of an affair on a marriage (why Maggie has the "one-nighter" with Skipper)
Being the ignored sibling
Hiding in the bottle
Gold digging
Homosexuality
Comment on Maggie’s line, "Living with someone you love can be lonelier than living entirely alone if the one that you love doesn’t love you."
