How is Tess of D'urbervilles SIMILAR to Song of Solomon?

Question

Find a connection that interests you and can serve as the “keys to the kingdom” for a deeper understanding by the time you dissect it. The subject matter can be drawn from character (any, at any level), imagery, motifs, symbols, aspects of narrative structure or style, theme, or any number of things.



Topic discovery is your privilege and your burden for this essay. The essay’s success depends on a wise, effective, and appropriately limited subject that allows you to generate a compelling thesis that deepens our understanding of both works. Avoid the shallow, the superficial, the scattered. . . The most important things are to limit the focus so that you can get beyond a superficial or scatter gun approach to the evidence, and to make sure that your thesis uses the comparison/contrast to highlight elements of significance.



Death, ancestry, “the sins of the fathers,” hunting, birds, obsession, journeys, superstition, allusions, the intersection of setting and character development, something about fathers/ mothers/parents, revenge, colors (red?), crazed (?) women . . . , I think that you will have plenty of good ideas on your own.

Answer 1

tl;dr.

Answer 2

Here's a hint:

If you’ll read about Solomon, I mean, really study Solomon’s story, you’ll find his story is as two sided as a coin. The side of the coin where a baby may get cut in half is very familiar; the other side of Solomon’s story is about his many wives, and how he married the daughters of nearby lands in order to protect what he cherished from attack: no nearby leader was going to attack the land where his daughter (family) lived.

Answer 3

surprisingly depressing, yeah. different depressing books (SPOILERS): Lolita: How's being abused as a toddler and loss of life in childbirth once you're purely 17, on Christmas Day, giving delivery to a stillborn toddler, sound? the coolest Soldier: the 1st line is 'that's the saddest tale I even have ever heard.' A tale of two cities: Sacrificing your self for the girl who does not love you as you do her- offering your self quite of her husband? the super Gatsby- dropping your existence on a woman who does not care.
