Announcing the 15th Annual Signet Classics Student Scholarship Essay Contest
Topic:
The Moonstone (Signet Classics)
Select one of the following five topics:
- In the introduction to the Signet Classic edition, Alev Lytle Croutier states: "The themes of imperialism and sensationalism in Collins's writings challenged the prejudices prevalent in Victorian England. At the heart of his social critiques was Collins's contempt for abuses of power, whether at home in Britain or abroad in the British Empire." Cite examples of such criticisms and comment on them.
- How do different female characters in The Moonstone
- The Moonstone
- Many characters in the novel are neither straightforward heroes or anti-heroes, and often seem to do insensitive things in service of what they feel is right. Some characters are attractive overall but exhibit behaviors that are unsympathetic, while characters like the Hindoos fluctuate between appearing villainous and victimized. Choose two figures who reveal different sides to their personalities, and discuss the way these characteristics help and/or undermine their roles in the novel. (For purposes of this question, the Hindoos may be regarded as a single figure.)
- Religion and superstition cause many of the characters in The Moonstone
Eligible:
Open to 11th and 12th grade full-time matriculated students who are attending high schools located in the fifty United States and the District of Columbia, or home-schooled students between the ages of 16-18 who are residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia.
