I'm writing a research paper on "As I Lay Dying". My topic is "Love". What would be a good thesis statement for this paper?

This topic is actually a quite rich one in relation to
As I Lay Dying.


One way to read this
novel is to see it as an exploration of several types of love or modes of the expression
of love. Love can be seen as service and sacrifice (Cash), affection and attachment
(Darl), redemption/self-effacement (Jewel), and loyalty
(Anse).


A thesis statement focusing on the varying modes of
love explored in the novel could look like
this:


  • Love is a term with many definitions. In
    William Faulkner’s novel, As I Lay Dying, several of these
    definitions are explored in ways both practical and
    psychological.
