On topic, I was going to write about Emerson's treatment of Hinduism as an extension of his Trascendentalism in a couple of poems, but it turned out to be a very difficult topic to handle (i.e. it requires expertise in Hinduism and Hinduist texts, which would take me more years to master than to write my thesis).
So, today I decided to change it. I'm going to compare King Lear's and The Book of Job's treatment of silence and ineffability as the thematic core that drives the tragic structure and characterization of the play and book, while also dealing with the inherent silence of the texts (i.e. the indeterminacy of the construction of the text of King Lear and Job).
