Muriel Spark/Fascism in 'Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'

Abstract: A 12 page research paper that examines Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The writer argues that, ultimately, , the reader comes to see that Brodie is a romantic egotist who has a tendency to shape the world to fit her perceptions of how things ought to be. She is also a 'monster' because she endeavors to shape her students into appendages of her own personality, even leading their actions so she can live out experiences vicariously through them, experiences that express her own thwarted desires. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
