LangLit EE Topic Help: Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies

[Frannaa 0]

Hello everyone!  Would be great to get your input on my langlit EE Research Question. 

My current RQ is: To what extent do Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm's character progressions expose the savagery of human nature in political power plays. 

 

Here are my current worries: 

- Too much topics to tackle so I might focus on either the political struggle perspective of it or the savagery of human nature (I'm leaning towards this more) 

- If I focus on the savagery of human nature, what other secondary sources could I use besides Psychological Studies? Most scholar articles I found were political in nature 

- If I focus on political struggle, my concern is it would sound like an History x Langlit EE. I heard mix sub EEs do not do well. The political nature of Animal Farm is explicit and its an overdone topic so they might mark me lower. 

tl;dr: Do I keep my EE topic as is or how do I revise it? How should my method of approach/lens be so it will not be marked lower due to lack of focus on the Langlit side because of the Historical and Psychological foundations of my RQ?

 

Thanks much

Fran
