Essay Topics
H.L. Mencken describes The Antichrist as Friedrich Nietzsche’s most coherent work, with a clear arc in its argument. Describe your view of this narrative: Who are the protagonists and antagonists? Are there clear “acts” within the “story?” Where does Nietzsche place his story’s climax?
Are there any individuals living today that Nietzsche might call “Hyperboreans”? Who are they, and why do you believe they qualify for the title?
Discuss Nietzsche’s retelling of the Garden of Eden myth in Section 48—specifically, his claim that womanhood is key to science. Why do you think he made this claim?
