Part 1 thesis: Pope says, "Most women have no character at all."
Part 1 question: What does "A Room of One's Own" seem to say about men?
Main idea 1: Men are always angry.
Main idea 2: Men control everything.
Main idea 3: Men are not concerned with woman's inferiority but with his own superiority.
Part 2 thesis: If men are always angry, control everything, and are more concerned with their own superiority; then they are the ones with no character at all.
Part 3 thesis: If one's attitude towards men is the same as the texts; then one's attitude towards common things, such as relationships, will greatly change.
Overarching thesis: While some believe women have no character at all; Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" suggests men are the ones with no character.

Okay, so part one is Alexander Pope's attitude toward women.
ReplyDeleteThe question, however, and the main ideas are about men. If you want to stick with that, change part one to be an attitude toward men.
Based on your current main ideas, the thesis for part two would be, Men are always angry, control everything, and are not concerned with women's inferiority but with their own superiority.
But can we go further? For example, why are men always angry? How are they able to control everything?
The thesis for part II will usually not be an if... then... statement, as it is here.
Part III: How will one's attitude toward common things greatly change? The current version is too vague.
The overarching thesis will then change to include an introduction about men, the revised thesis from part II, and a third part that addresses the implications of espousing Woolf's ideas.
Now, I don't see where the text suggests men have no character.
