Projects on Dryden
  1. Find (maybe on YouTube) a modern example of the Mock Heroic and show a parallel between it and Mac Flecknoe.
  2. Find (maybe on YouTube) a modern example of what Dryden would call "Nonsense." (My definition of "Nonsense" in Dryden's sense is "irrational zeal for fashionable ideas and attitudes.")
  3. Heroic couplets tend to be periodic. Find an example of this characteristic in Mac Flecknoe.
  4. Heroic couplets tend to be epigrammatic. Find an example of this characteristic in Mac Flecknoe.
    5.
