I've attached the possible topics for this paper. I think the easiest topic would be #4: In what sense (senses) is Geraldine a vampire creature? How is Geraldine's vampirism significant for the poems representation of her sexuality.This is based on a poem "Christabel" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge that I have also attached in PDF form.The requirements are: 1300-15- words double spaced please include bibliography Some notes in class about this reading. THE VAMPIRE IN ROMANTIC LITERATURE II. Overview of Romanticism• Romanticism was one of the most important artistic movements of the 18th and19th centuries.• It represented a response to the Enlightenment confidence in order and reason.• Some characteristics: emphasis on the individual, and on self-awareness as a pre-cursor to improving society; emphasis on freedom and imagination; reliance on feelings, emotions, intuition as a guide to conduct (vs reason); interest in the irrational realms of dreams, folklore, superstition; interest in nature, rural life, “natural man”; interest in breaking down conceptual binaries.II. Coleridge, Christabel (1816)• Coleridge wrote two parts, but the poem was never completed.• There is no explicit mention of vampires in the poem, but many suggestions thatGeraldine is a vampire (or at least an evil spirit or being with vampirictendencies).• There have been (historically) two ways of interpreting the poem:o The “logical” reading: Geraldine’s evil is a supernatural evil which can be explained “logically” using the conceptual framework of demonology.o The “psychological” reading: Geraldine’s evil finds it source within herself (its causes are natural).• But both readings presuppose that the poem is about an evil (either external or internal) which is dedicated to the corruption of innocence. But does the poem blur the distinction between good and evil?• Is there, in fact, a symbiotic relationship between Geraldine and Christabel? This would suggest that the poem is a story about interdependence and intimacy.• Form that the intimacy takes is shaped by gender: Geraldine is at once sexual creature and surrogate mother.
