Paper Topic

My paper topic will be gradual Gradus (see note to lines 17, 29). I will look at the literal (albeit imagined) path he takes from Zembla to New Wye. I will also look at the transformative path that he takes through Kinbote's mind, from being merely a picture in an album in Goldsworth's house to being a faulty agent in a faulty scheme to assassinate the former king of Zembla.
