Essay Outline
An
outline is a means of organizing the material for your essay in such a
way that the direction of your arguments can be charted. Thus, the
outline is a skeleton of the essay; it provides form and structure. If
the outline is sound, the essay will likewise be sound. Once you have
organized your material in outline form, you have a plan for the essay
itself. You always know where you are in your argument, as well as where
you have been and where you are going. In the outline you decidewhat to
say; thus, in writing the essay you need to concentrate on how to make
your argument clear. The result should be an organized essay.
There
are two formats for an outline: the sentence and the point formats. As
their names imply, the former is less abbreviated than the latter.
Generally, the point outline is preferable since it is less cumbersome
and forces you to condense your ideas in a phrase. Remember, however,
that too much abbreviation can lead to confusion. If your outline is too
sparse, it may exclude necessary material. The outline is for your use. Find a balance that is suitable for you.
Remember
the diagram of the essay structure. The body of the essay is a point by
point proof of the thesis. Your outline lists your points (and
subpoints) in the order in which you choose to deal with them. When you
write your essay, you expand your points into paragraphs. Look at the
following sample outline for the Macbethessay:

3.One
of the inevitable and time-honoured questions asked about Hamlet
focuses on the question of his insanity, whether he has put on an "antic
dispostion" or whether he is truly insane. Discuss whether you believe
Hamlet is putting on an "antic disposition" or whether you believe he is
truly insane. Consider the following questions in preparing your
response, but do not answer them specifically.
a.What is sanity or insanity?
b.How people know whether they are sane or insane?
c.If an individual lives entirely on his or her own, how can that person determine whether she or he is insane or sane?
d.Does one have to be insane to take another person's life? To commit murder?
e.Is Hamlet sane or insane during this act of the play?
4.While
many have discussed Shakespeare's work in Freudian analyses, C.G. Jung,
one of Freud's younger colleagues also interests many readers. Click on
the link below, which contains an essay by Dr. C. George Boeree on
Jungian personality theory. Read the short sections, "Introversion" and
"Extraversion" and "The Functions." The second link, "The Personality
Theory of Carl Jung," provides similar information in a different
format. Read the articles, then decide and argue (in proper essay
format) how Jung's theories might be applied to three major characters
in the play.
