Below are a few entry points into researching your thesis on the Role of Literature.  I tried to gather a variety of resources here, from the erudite and intellectual to the epitome of click-bait.   You are required to include at least three research sources into your final paper.  I expect you to find other material on your own as needed, but be warned that dictionary sites, Wikipedia, study/review sites, and quote-collection sites are not acceptable sources for an academic paper.
