Magda's Current Research Questions

1. I'm working on an archetypal analysis of The Fault in Our Stars that might also include some critical disabilities analysis because I think I'm going to be focusing on how John Green deliberately strays from a classic story about "sick people" and instead fulfills the archetype of a romance novel to specifically show the dangers of archetypes.

2.
     - What is the best way to go about finding information about the general genre of "romance" (or, more specifically, "tragic romance")?
     - Is it possible to find peer-reviewed literary analysis of a contemporary book like The Fault in Our Stars?
     - I think I'm going to mention a lot the idea of a tragic romance genre specifically built on the idea of one of the love interests being sick. I don't think this genre really has a name so I don't know how to find out if anyone has written about it. Do you have any ideas about how I might be able to find if anyone has written about it?
