Final Paper Idea

        So, I've been thinking "hmm...what would make a good final statement on this semesters english class" and I believe I have just the thing.  For the final paper, I wish to explore one of these two criticisms for the novel  "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time": either the "Madwoman in the Attic" by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar and how the roles of Angels and Demons have switched within the novel for each character, or "The One Vs. the Many" by Woloch and how the surrounding characters change the perspective of Christopher for the reader.  The reason I am so interested in writing about this book is because we as the reader have to change our perspective on what we think of someone who has some form of autism.  Society wishes to pin them as people who, for lack of a better word, are less.  But in this book, the roles are that society has given are switched, and it is us, the reader, who are lesser then the main character.  By flipping these roles, the reader is forced to acknowledge the superiority of Christopher compared to the other characters.
          This also creates an "Angel, Demon" comparison, where Christopher becomes angelic, while the other characters become demonic because each person is a suspect in Christopher's case.  Also, the fact that each male character has become "Demonic" in a way astounds me.  In Pride and Prejudice, the Angels were all women and the Demons were men.  In this book, some of those roles have switched as well.  Christopher is more Angelic than any of the characters in the book, but he is a male.  What does this do to the book as a whole?  These are the idea's I wish to explore further in my upcoming paper.
