My first idea is your generic compare and contrast essay. Like compare and comtrast Freud and Conrad's representation of the darkness in all of us, or something like that. My basic thesis would be that they both saw the darkness in all of us, something about how they differ in their explanation if it (but not different enough to need a contrast paragraph), and how they differ on what men should do about it/accept it or not. I would then separate my paragraphs into how the darkness in us is the unconscious, the nature of that darkness, and what humanity should do about it. I've also structured the paragraphs, but that's too much to put in this blog post. Oh yeah, and I would use murfin to glue to two writers together
If I feel that i should do a more specific essay, I will do slavery. The question would be something like how do Freud and Conrad differ in their representations (or whatever) of slavery in their books. I would basically say that Conrad says its because we are just bad at heart, and Freud says that it is because our suppressed ids come out. Maybe I'd use murfin to connect the two. This one has some very vivid and good quotes I could use.
Those are my two best at the moment. Maybe an essay about vivid imagery or symbols would work too.
