For your amusement, I thought I'd put up some of my college paper titles. Because I'm cleaning my room and found a stack of them and it's so obvious to me that I was vastly entertained by myself and also so obvious that I was a HUGE GIANT DORK.
Here are some of the gems I found:
"Deception and Disguise in Life is a Dream"
Ah, alliteration. So cute. Most people get over it by AP English in high school.
"Mirrors of Disenchantment: Cynicism and the Reevaluation of Ideals in Fifth of July"
Doesn't this sound more like a romance novel? Mirrors of Disenchantment. There should be a ripped bodice somewhere in there.
"Get the Guests: Albee's Dismantling of Illusions"
Again with the alliteration, although to be fair this one is Albee's fault and not mine.
"Rhythm and Redemption in Donne's Sonnet #7"
...but is she done yet? No:
"Memory and Meditation: Isolation and Renewal in 'Frost at Midnight' and 'The Life.'"
"Sorcery and Storytelling: Pilate's Role as Spiritual Guide in Song of Solomon"
"Mourning Motherhood: Repetition and Revision in 'A Procession at Candlemas'"
"Tattoos and Lace: Metonymical Metaphors in Typee"
Okay, but the best I saved for last. Luckily I managed at some point to break my affinity for alliteration, and we get the following casual but penetrating title: "Barbarians, Christians, What's the Difference?: Religious Commentary in Montaigne's Skepticism."

Jesus Christ. Someone stage an intervention. Clearly there's some kind of synaptic lapse that's lead her to believe two or more words starting with the same letter might reveal cleverness.
