The introduction should be written in paragraph form and should address the following questions: What is your topic? Why did you choose this topic? What is the benefit of your research on this topic, or what is the goal you hope to accomplish when someone reads your Research Project? What are the limitations of your research on this topic?

Name 5 Name Name Topics in American Literature – ENGL-2130-F91 Date Contemporary Literature and Mental Illness Mental illness has been a topic of interest in literature for centuries. Contemporary literature has increasingly focused on the representation of mental illness, providing valuable insights into changing societal attitudes toward mental health. This literature review explores several sources to examine the portrayal of mental illness and its connection to changing attitudes toward mental health. In “Distinctly Different: “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” Sula, and Disability Studies,” Gilje argues that Bartleby’s “utterances and actions” suggest he may suffer from a mental impairment, which sets him apart from the larger society around him. Bartleby’s repetition of “I would prefer not to” indicates his reluctance to conform to societal expectations, reflecting a psychological condition that prevents him from adapting to social norms. This portrayal is consistent with the contemporary understanding of mental illness as a condition that causes individuals to deviate from expected behavior and communication patterns. The societal response to Bartleby’s behavior reveals the stigma attached to mental illness. Bartleby’s employer tries to remove him from the workplace because of his inability to conform to social expectations, reflecting a societal desire to eliminate those who do not conform to established norms. The reaction of Bartleby’s employer is consistent with the traditional view of mental illness as a condition that renders individuals incapable and in need of exclusion from society. Gilje’s analysis also highlights Bartleby’s capability despite his mental impairment. Gilje emphasizes that he can take care of himself as long as he is approached and understood on his terms by viewing Bartleby from a disability perspective (Gilje). This highlights the importance of accommodating individual differences and challenges the traditional view of mental illness as a condition that renders individuals incapable. In “The madwoman out of the attic: genderised madness and failed hybridity in Henry James’s Daisy Miller,” Kylmälä argues that the portrayal of Daisy Miller’s madness is gendered and reflects the societal expectations of women’s behavior. Daisy’s refusal to conform to societal norms and her desire for independence are signs of her madness, reflecting the societal view that women who challenge traditional gender roles are deviant and mentally unstable. This representation is consistent with the historical and contemporary view of mental illness as a condition that renders women hysterical and irrational. Kylmälä also examines the failed hybridity in Daisy Miller’s character, representing the conflict between the American and European cultures. Daisy’s hybrid identity is seen as a threat to the stability and order of the European culture, leading to her exclusion from society. This exclusion is reflected in Daisy’s madness, which is seen as a result of her inability to adapt to the European culture, highlighting the importance of cultural acceptance and understanding in maintaining mental health (Kylmälä). The societal response to Daisy’s behavior reveals the stigma attached to mental illness in society. Daisy’s behavior is seen as a threat to the stability and order of the European culture, leading to her exclusion and alienation from society. This reflects the traditional view of mental illness as a condition that renders individuals incapable and in need of exclusion from society. In her article “The Analysis of Psychological Aspect in Cho-pin’s ‘The Story of an Hour’,” Dewi argues that Chopin’s story provides a nuanced and complex portrayal of mental illness, one that challenges traditional notions of mental health and illness. Rather than portraying Louise’s emotions as a sign of weakness or instability, Chopin presents them as a natural and even necessary response to the trauma of losing a loved one. Through her analysis of the story, Dewi shows how Chopin explores the ways in which social and cultural norms can contribute to mental health issues, particularly for women who are expected to conform to specific roles and expectations (Dewi). Dewi argues that Chopin’s story highlights the importance of recognizing and acknowledging one’s emotions and societal expectations’ impact on mental health. In conclusion, Gilje’s analysis of “Bartleby, the Scrivener” sheds light on the representation of mental illness in contemporary literature and the changing attitudes towards mental health in society. Gilje highlights the importance of understanding and accommodating individual differences and challenges the traditional view of mental illness as a condition that renders individuals incapable by using a disability perspective to analyze Bartleby’s behavior. Dewi’s article suggests that contemporary literature can provide essential insights into the representation of mental illness and changing attitudes towards mental health in society. We can better understand how social and cultural factors can impact mental health outcomes, as well as the importance of recognizing and supporting individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues by examining literary depictions of mental illness. Kylmälä’s analysis of “Daisy Miller” highlights the gendered portrayal of madness and the failed hybridity in the character of Daisy Miller. The representation of Daisy’s madness reflects the societal expectations of women’s behavior and highlights the importance of cultural acceptance and understanding in maintaining mental health.

Name 3 Name1 Name 2 Topics in American Literature – ENGL-2130-F91 Date Mental Health in Literature Proposal My proposed research topic is the representation of mental illness in contemporary literature. I am particularly interested in exploring how contemporary literature reflects society’s changing attitudes toward mental health and mental illness. Mental health has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, with greater awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by those who have a mental illness. I believe literature has a vital role in shaping our perceptions of mental health and promoting greater empathy and understanding for those struggling with mental illness. My research will involve an analysis of contemporary literature that addresses mental illness, including novels, short stories, and memoirs. I will examine how mental illness is represented in these works and how it is portrayed concerning broader societal issues such as stigma, social exclusion, and access to healthcare. I will also explore how mental illness is depicted in different genres of literature, including literary fiction, young adult fiction, and graphic novels. The benefit of this research is that it will contribute to a greater understanding of the ways in which contemporary literature engages with critical social issues. By examining how mental illness is represented in literature, I hope to shed light on the complex ways in which mental illness is understood and experienced in society. This research will be particularly relevant for those interested in mental health advocacy, literary scholars, and enthusiasts. Research Question How does contemporary literature represent mental illness, and what can this tell us about changing attitudes towards mental health in society?
