A successful thesis is specific, arguable, important and intellectually daring.
Take a look at your thesis.
- is it specific?
- is it arguable? (can you come up with a counter-argument?)
- is it significant? (can you answer the question "so what"?)
- is it interesting and intellectually daring? (does it bring out an aspect of the text that is not immediately evident? does it offer insight you wouldn't expect to find in Cliff Notes or a book review? would you enjoy discussing it with a friend?)
