1. Within Candide, how does one see the Enlightenment's debate between the "ancients" and the "moderns" play out?

2. Briefly discuss, citing examples from their respective works, the differences in approaching satire among Moliere and Voltaire.

3. Compare how sentimental, romantic conventions concerning women are used to address Enlightenment concerns in Tartuffe and Candide.

4. Baudelaire's poetry provides a fitting conclusion to covering the Romantic period for its extreme example of using the conventions of Romanticism to undermine and explode those very conventions. Explain this, using "To the Reader" and "A Carcass" as well as, for comparison's sake, the poetry of William Wordsworth.

5. In terms of literary reputation, the Narrative of Frederick Douglass is chiefly known as a slave narrative. However, it is also a work of the Romantic period, so what makes it an identifiably Romantic work? Use examples from at least two other Romantic works covered in class for comparison.
