I have to write an essay on Spenser's The Faerie Queene; I am
permitted to invent a title.  Current thoughts are:

Unifying themes in The Faerie Queene
The role of women in the Faerie Queene (Una is such a wuss!  I've seen
writing that counts Errour as a woman...)
The hero's progress (which seems to be centered around distinguising
between what "seems" and what "is")
A discussion of the use of the epic similie in The Faerie Queene

I'm looking for some research to figure out which one of these is the
most viable question, and am equally open to answering any of them. 
If you easily find a ton of material on one of the subjects, that will
suffice for an answer - I don't need a ton of material on all of them.
 I am also open to considering alternate questions along similar
lines.  I don't need an essay writing for me; just some ideas for
places to look for research.  Please request clarification if
necessary.

Statestraveller,

I did a pretty interesting one on Amoret and Belphoebe when I took a
senior seminar on the Faerie Queene.  My research among literary
critics and literary historians was all conducted at the library; it
should be much easier now on the Internet--but remember, not
everything is on the Internet!  You might still have to pick up an
actual book.  Sorry, I can't remember the exact topic, but I do recall
that I enjoyed working on it, and it earned me an A.

General advice:  Don't take on something too broad.  Find some aspect
that interests you and then think up a title that covers it, and not
the other way around.  Your suggestions are all very large topics. 
It's much easier to take a modestly scaled one and do it justice than
to take on something enormous and flounder around foolishly in an
ocean of material that you can't master without devoting a career to
it.
