Individual Implementation Plan:
A large portion of Cymbeline analysis focuses on British identity, and how understanding this concept in a Jacobean context can help us further understand character dynamics. Kerrigan, for example, notes that the tensions between Rome and Britain are exemplified through acts of sexual aggression and misogyny between characters (Kerrigan 18). Kerrigan theorizes that the competitive nature between male characters is linked to Jacobean nationalistic debates due to textual evidence of using female characters as collateral for claims of cultural dominance. This claim is further emphasized by the numerous allusions to classical Rome; Iachimo notices that Imogen is reading Ovid, and details her bedchamber as one of Classicalized decor. In response, Posthumus alludes to Roman gods. This is also supported by Great Britain’s political shifts, and re-identifying the way that Britons saw themselves on the world stage (Boling 2).

Evaluation of Brideshead Revisited 's Wikipedia Page
The Wikipedia page for Brideshead Revisited has plenty of sections and subsections to guide someone along the plot of the book and it's effects on readers and the literary sphere. However, this does not mean that the page is entirely thorough. There is a general section called "Plot" which is divided into the prologue, epilogue, and the three parts that the novel is comprised of. While it gives a general gist of the storyline, it is rather thinly written, leaving someone who has never read the book to be either confused or unimpressed. Though the following section of "Motifs" is a little more fleshed out, its vague and inadequate title is the first of many issues with this section. Take the first motif listed, "Catholicism" as an example. The information that follows describes it as a theme, rather than a motif. Following that, it gives vague statements that are not informative or cited, such as, "The Catholic themes of divine grace and reconciliation are pervasive in the book.[citation needed] Most of the major characters undergo a conversion in some way or another". After these un-cited declarations, the author provides several notable moments in the novel that would better serve the "Plot" section than the "Motifs". Though they do reflect the theme, they are confusing out of context, especially considering that the "Plot" section does not go into detail about these moments, despite their significance. This section also provides statements imbued with personal predilections for certain moments over others, and misinterprets a critic's response to the end of the novel. To give the authors this page the benefit of the doubt, I fully understand that this book is best understood by reading it in its entirety to fully grasp the concepts, but I do believe that the page needs heavy editing. It could benefit by reallocating many of the notes in "Motifs" towards the "Plot" section, and adding much more information and research to the "Motifs" section, considering that it is a highly thematic book. Another example is allocating information on the relationship between the principle characters Charles' and Sebastian's relationship as a "Motif" rather than a constant force in the storyline. The section on "Nostalgia for English Nobility" is highly underwritten, which is disappointing, considering there's absolutely plenty of information surrounding the literary context of this theme.

If one looks at the page for "Evelyn Waugh" — the author of the novel — there is plenty of information on this book specifically, his influences, his interests in religion, and other things that shaped this book and the literary criticisms that followed this book as well. This information would be beneficial to someone researching this novel, and I'm surprised that there isn't more on the page for this book.
