Essay Titles The following suggestions are based on some of the essay and project titles given to my students over the last few years. You can use these as ideas for the range of possible topics that are possible, and also to see which areas within stylistics are popular with students at the moment. I encourage my students at Belfast to generate their own areas for investigation and their own titles, in consultation with me. Many prefer to do this than to follow the pre-prepared material below, and recent work included an analysis of patterns of dialogue in the film Get Shorty, a study of point of view in the Eagles' song Hotel California, and an exploration of politeness strategies among the characters in Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day. Some of the texts selected in the questions have been addressed by other stylisticians in various publications, and where this has happened I have added the relevant references (or some other signal) in red. (This is not of course done in the version I give to the students, but if their reading does lead them to the relevant sources, then is to be applauded).
