You could always try eroticism, delay, and narrative; the supposed
pleasure of violation; the means by which Marlowe makes the poem so
funny; the case for and against Chapman's continuation (double the
negative!); the use and effects of ekphrasis... Others will have
better ideas; I'm standing beside the M5 without book.
