FYS 1205 - Love Gone Wrong in Literature

Credits: 4
Literature–from the classics to contemporary works–abounds with tales of the dark complexities of love and its failures. The sources of heartbreak are many: jealousy, betrayal, deceit, obsession, and unrequited love. This course will focus on American literary works (short stories, poems, novels, essays, songs) that explore the topic of misbegotten love and the variety of ways in which lovers respond to the thwarting or decline of their romantic emotions.
