Paper details:

Understanding British literature requires not just reading the texts themselves but also looking at the ways scholars think and write about those texts. For this reason, the second paper in this course requires you to read and think about a scholarly article relating to one of the major texts we’re reading this semester. (I have attached the scholarly article).

The purpose of the paper is to summarize and evaluate the article you choose. The summary of the article should constitute approximately half of the paper (i.e., about 2-3 pages in length). In the summary section, you should explain the argument being made, cite important examples given by the author, and discuss the conclusion(s) reached in the article. Once you have fully and accurately summarized the article, you should evaluate the argument presented by the author. Does the argument make sense? What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses? Most importantly, you should test the validity of the argument by applying it to specific passages or examples from the play (those not explicitly discussed in the article). By the end of the paper, it should be clear to me that you have read and understood not only the article you have chosen but also the text that the article discusses.

All references to the article or the play should be fully cited according to MLA style (if you have questions about MLA style, let me know).

To clarify, the play we are analyzing is Oroonoko. We are also given a scholarly article which we are to analyze. I hope the instructions are clear and easy to understand.
