Finаl Exаm Instructiоns The Finаl Exam is an оpen-nоtes, closed-book essay examination. The exam will be administered through Honorlock remote proctoring with a locked browser. Your handwritten spiral notebook is the only resource you may use during the exam. It should contain the literary terms, definitions, observations, comparisons, and direct quotations with textbook page numbers that you have collected throughout the semester. Your essay should demonstrate your understanding of the assigned readings and literary concepts developed throughout the course. Support every major claim with direct quotations from the assigned stories, properly integrated using signal phrases, textbook page-number citations, and your own commentary explaining how each quotation supports your analysis. Essay Prompt Throughout this semester, we have studied literature spanning nearly 170 years, beginning with the Dark Romanticism of Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) and Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864), continuing through Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) and Flannery O'Connor (1925–1964), and concluding with the contemporary fiction of Margaret Atwood (1939– ), Karen Russell (1981– ), Ray Bradbury (1920–2012), and Zadie Smith (1975– ). Our major literary works have included: Edgar Allan Poe, "The Black Cat" (1843) — Dark Romanticism Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Birth-Mark" (1843) — Dark Romanticism Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "The Yellow Wallpaper" (1892) — Psychological Gothic Flannery O'Connor, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" (1953) and "Good Country People" (1955) — Southern Gothic Karen Russell, "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves" (2006) — neo-Gothic Margaret Atwood, "Lusus Naturae" (2011) — neo-Gothic Ray Bradbury, "The Veldt" (1950) — Science Fiction Zadie Smith, "Meet the President!" (2013) — Science Fiction Along the way, we also learned how Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) serves as an important bridge between the Gothic tradition and science fiction. Although you will not have access to the assigned Frankenstein article during the exam, your spiral notebook should reflect its central idea: science fiction did not replace the Gothic tradition—it evolved from it by transforming supernatural fears into anxieties about science, technology, and humanity's desire to exceed natural limits. Throughout the semester, we have seen literary genres evolve while continuing to explore many of the same enduring questions about human nature, morality, identity, scientific ambition, social expectations, faith, and the consequences of crossing boundaries. Essay Prompt How have the literary traditions we studied throughout the semester evolved while continuing to explore the same fundamental questions about human nature? In your essay, explain how the Gothic tradition develops across the works we have studied while remaining concerned with humanity's fears, ambitions, moral choices, and attempts to cross natural, psychological, social, and technological boundaries. Develop your own argument rather than simply summarizing the stories. Your thesis should explain what unifies these literary traditions despite the ways they change over time.
