    My portion of the workshopping was done today. Kallen and Hannah were very helpful in talking out some of the ways in which the paper can extend into Paradise Lost with surety. It was also really nice to be able to talk to some people about Milton and try to express my ideas orally. It came out sounding a lot more complicated than it is; I need to work on that before the presentation.
    Also, Dr. Reed and I had a major breakthrough about the scene in Book 12 in which Adam discovers death and laments it. Abel causes personalization of death in Adam in EXACTLY THE SAME way that King caused it for Milton. This is huge! Now the connections between Milton and Adam are direct and important; Milton uses first the swain and then Adam to parse out his feelings about death. This is what I've been looking for to draw a straight line between the two poems.

    Dotting the i's and crossing the t's on my project, as well as preparing my presentation tomorrow. After a lot of consideration, I've decided not to include anything from Freud or Lacan, despite the fact that I'm taking a psychoanalytic approach. They are both concerned with stages much earlier in the life course than I am dealing with. I think a nod to them in the paper would really be a derivative comment at this point.
    I feel good about the argument; it's strong and clear. I find it original and interesting, but it is up to me to convince my audience of that tomorrow. The most important choices to come will be what to take out of this lengthy argument as part of the oral presentation. Only one example from Lycidas and maybe two from Paradise Lost, to underscore the importance of the way the influence of King's death carries through Milton's life.

    She also said I should look at Jung's work on the middle of life. She also said that the developmental psychologists Levinson, Chiriboga, and Tamir have information on the more current of view of midlife. There is a debate currently going on about whether midlife crises exist at all, but there seems to be enough psychological evidence to make this specific case about Milton.
    She also suggested I stress the fact that Milton experience multiple deaths and the added impact that would have given the experiences.
