Focusing closely on two works, explore the way desire is represented and how it functions. What does desire or even the negation of desire yield or produce in these texts? Is desire the goal in itself, or is it a means to other (seemingly antithetical) ends? What forms of desire are represented as off limits or dangerous and what are the effects of indulging those desires? Conversely, when and to what effect is non-normative desire represented in positive or salutary terms. Please use specific examples when discussing the issues in these texts.
