Picnic Questions and Answers

What is a good thesis statement for a drama research paper about the play Picnic by William Inge? It must be about one aspect or element of the story, citing two secondary sources in support.

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 good thesis statement for a research paper over the play Picnic by W. Inge?

Whats a good point/argument for a drama paper, about the play "Picnic" by W. Inge, that can be converted into a research paper(thesis driven)? The paper will eventually be converted into an 8 page research paper so, it has to be elaborate. It has to be a point or argument that I'm trying to make about the play or an aspect or element of it. For example, the character made the wrong decision at the end of the play i.e. choices and consequences etc.
