This paper on the tragic responsibilty of father figures in Lessing's dramatic plays is really making me want to pull my hair out. Really, I don't give a rat's butt what their responsibility is, and I consider it a waste of my life to write literary analysis papers like this. I really hate this sort of academia. It's nothing but professors sitting around reveling in their own brilliance and it makes me sick. Tell me, what relevence could this POSSIBLY have to my life??
This is why I'm a business major. I consider it FAR more important to be able to tell you whether Intel is playing Hide-The-Ridiculously-High-Executive-Perks-Expenses somehwere in their Annual Report than being able to tell you why a man named Odoardo who is a character in a play and doesn't even EXIST has an emotionally incestuous relationship with his equally imaginary daughter.
GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Why don't universities just let you study what you WANT to anymore?!?

Think of it this way. You are being asked to examine the actions of people in order to deeply understand their motives and analyze why they arrived at the conclusions they did. By doing character studies on imaginary people in literature you will be better equipt in the business world to understand the human nature that drives decision making in the business world.
Or it could be a load of crap and universities enjoy taking your money.
touche erica. i was going to write almost exactly the same thing. although, probably not as eloquently.
