Picnic Questions and Answers

What would be an effective thesis statement for a research paper focused on one aspect of William Inge's play Picnic?


What's a suitable thesis statement for a research paper on W. Inge's play Picnic?


Is the thesis given below on the play Picnic a good solid choice for my research paper in which I have to find 5 secondary to back my claim? I understand that loneliness is a strong theme in "Picnic" however, from reading the story and everything on enotes etc. I seem to conclude that choices and consequences is a strong theme that can include the themes of loneliness, freedom and beauty within it broader spectrum. However, I'm not sure if I will be able to find enough secondary sources that can back a thesis or even if this thesis is solid enough. The theme of character's choices and their consequences is a high contributing factor towards creating other themes of beauty, freedom and loneliness that create the characters within the play "Picnic."


What is a compelling argument or point about the play "Picnic" by W. Inge that could be developed into a research paper?
