The topic selection of English literature graduation thesis can be carried out from three directions: national literature research, literary criticism theory research and comparative literature research. When choosing a topic for the study of national literature, a classic writer (such as Hemingway), a classic work (such as A Tale of Two Cities), a writing technique (such as the use of symbolism) or a literary trend of thought (such as the Romantic Movement) in English literature or American literature are generally selected for in-depth study. However, when choosing a writer or work, it is best to choose a classic writer or work in the history of literature. Some popular writers or works are very famous, which can easily arouse students' interest, such as Gone with the Wind or Thorn Birds. Students have a strong desire to choose them as research objects. When the above situation is inevitable, we should try our best to explore the profound meaning of the work, rather than superficial analysis. The topic selection of literary criticism theory is generally not suitable for English majors, because the study of theoretical knowledge in this field is in the postgraduate stage of English majors, and undergraduates generally do not have the knowledge structure of literary criticism theory. The topic in this direction can be related to a literary criticism theory, the interpretation of a literary criticism term or the comparison of two or more literary criticism theories. Comparative literature research is to compare two or more writers or works. These two works or writers can come from the same country (such as Comparison of Poems between Shelley and Byron) or from different countries (such as Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet). You can choose some English professional papers as writing reference.
