Add more classical Literature books
Add more classical literature books (as Wharton's Age of Innocence) instead of more recent books (like Geiman's Graveyard Book). This books are classical because have important subjects worth discussing.

duchess of malfi
The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster is one of the pivotal revenge dramas of the age along with Spanish Tragedy and of course, the works of Shakespeare. If you could feature this play I feel it would greatly improve your literature section. Please :)

Huckleberry Finn
I would like to see a literary analysis on the satire and the satire of stereotypes of the 1800s in Huckleberry Finn. The entire book is based around the stereotypes and yet there's none on this website.

Add the musical 'Blood Brothers', by Willy Russel to Shmoop.
I am studying Blood Brothers, by Willy Russel, along with Lord of the Flies, as part of my 2nd literature exam for GCSE. Therefore I think it would be great if Shmoop could add that. I would be very thankful.

Add 'The Natural World' as one of the themes in 'Paradise Lost'.
I recently did a presentation on the theme of the natural world in Paradise Lost for a teacher, and I think it's actually one of the major themes in the poem, so perhaps you could add that.

In the Essay lab, have something beside college apps. and lit.
Every week and a half or so, I need to write a essay for history. My history teacher always points us to this website for anything. I decided to check out the essay lab due to my poor grades on essays, but you only have essays for books (Which I'll need soon if you put The Alchemist up) and college applications. Maybe you could have a general writer for everything else?
