Hi, I'm Patrick Galloway, B.A., English Literature, San Francisco State University, 1996. I thought I'd put some of my essays online, in case anyone might want to consult them. Why would someone want to consult them, you ask? Well, they're quite good, actually.

Attention plagiarists: This site is not as unknown or hard to trace as you might think. I've been around for awhile and I've gotten several e-mails from instructors who have busted students for copying my papers, so watch it. Read a book, get a life.

Anyhow, I've listed the essays in alphabetical order by topic:


A Dry White Season
Apocalypse Now & Heart of Darkness
Beowulf
Dangerous Liaisons
Edwin Drood
Flannery O'Connor's Short Fiction
Hedda Gabler
Melville Reviews Douglass
Mill's Liberty: A Study in Contradictions
Music Criticism
Poetry of Charles Baudelaire
Pride and Prejudice
Samuel Johnson Collection
Sense and Sensibility
Shakespeare Essays
Theatre Arts: 3 Playwrights
Theatre Arts: Mother
The Sin of Pride
What is Literature?

And if you thought those were good, wait 'til you see PATWEB's other treasure trove of lit essays, Shirl's Site (she's got an MA in this stuff).
