December


 * December's Question:** 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 moral duty. Choose a literary work in which a character confronts the demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities. In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significance to the work.

No two people can use the same character and it is a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to write about John Proctor but it's aleady been done, pick another person.

These will each be worth 25 points, so make the outline count.**
