Please write a 1200-1500 word essay (between 4-5 pages), integrating quotations, and using Standard MLA format and citation, with both in-text citations and a Works Cited list. Our reading has much to discuss: wise and foolish characters, a wide representation of ways of life, moral and political stances, moments of great joy and great sorrow! Your paper may answer ONE of the following questions: • Who would you say is the wisest character in the novel? Does that wise character still have foolish ideas/behaviors? What is Johnson telling us about wisdom through this character? • Consider moments in the text when we are told that characters ARE happy. What do these moments suggest about the nature of happiness? • What does this novel seem to suggest about the relationship between being good/moral and being happy? For this paper, you should use at least one or two additional sources for any contextual questions that may arise about the author or the period in which the book was written. You should not look up or build your argument upon any analyses already out in the world (digital or analog) that are not scholarly! Your paper will need to have a compelling title, an engaging introduction, a precise thesis, and responsible research, combined with careful analysis.
