Due 4/3: Nausea

March 31, 2017 By

1. Nausea–Read and annotate through p. 30. Keep the following in mind while annotating:

“The strangest thing is that I am not at all inclined to call myself insane, I clearly see that I am not: all these changes concern objects. At least, that is what I’d like to be sure of.” (2)

“Something has happened to me, I can’t doubt it any more.” (4)

Also keep in mind that this novel chronicles Roquentin’s existential illness and his road to understanding and “recovery.”

2. Class Forum–Remember to bring a printed copy of your response to class.

  • The epiphany by the chestnut tree (including veneers, being in the way, CONTINGENCY, roots) pp. 126-133
  • Anny (including change and outliving oneself) pp. 137-144

So, these are the primary discussion points for the last two days of discussion. But there are so many nuanced bits of philosophical importance scattered throughout.
