Please read and answer the Discussion Questions pertaining to the text or group of text in the books listed down. There are six discussion questions, please read and answer each question within a short paragraph which the entire 6 question worth one page long.

1-Think about the different types of love we encounter in “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” (brotherly, spiritual, self, courtly, erotic, etc.). Why highlight all the different types? Do you think the author pits them against each other? Why do that? What message does it send to the audience (then or now).
2- Donne and Milton explore the relationship between God and man. How does their approach or conceptualization of this relationship differ from what we saw during the middle Ages?
3- Consider Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko. What role do you see the narrator playing? Is the narrator trustworthy? Why or why not?
4- What do you think about the witty, metaphorical comparisons (conceits) that the Metaphysical and Cavalier poets use? Do they make the poetry easier or more difficult to understand? Which conceit is your favorite?
5- How does Twelfth Night portray love? Are there different kinds of love? What are they? Are some forms of love better than others? Why or why not?
6- How do the female characters and authors we’ve read this week answer the antifeminist stereotype that women are inherently less reasonable than men. Do they fight, manipulate, or confirm that stereotype?
