Writing Feedback / Thesis: "Hybridity and Metamorphosis" [4]

Thanks for the critiques, as you can see my essay construction sucks; but I'm working on it. Yah, I know that i'm using the terms hybridity, identity, fashioning way too much. It was just that my professor required me to use the terms, so I "slightly" went overboard.

What I was trying to imply in the intro was that hybridity is a stage, and when an individual transforms permanently he/she moves on to the 2nd stage, metamorphosis. Than if the actions of the character are virtuous than self fashioning has been performed. I know these 3 terms are complex, but it was worth a shot trying to tie them together.

I'll have to do a bit more pre-writing to come up with a clearer thesis, I may just have to abandon "self fashioning" altogether.

Writing Feedback / Thesis: "Hybridity and Metamorphosis" [4]

Let me know if my thesis does stand out and if it's strong. I've been reading over and over, and now i'm starting to doubt it. Thanks for your critiques!

In 13th century Metamorphosis and Identity, Caroline Bynum explores anxieties about the idea of hybridity and metamorphosis in the conversion of personal, subject and spatiotemporal identity. Hybridity is that an individual can be 2 competing identities, co-existing in 2 different worlds, and the individual who transforms into another individual, performs metamorphosis. Both of these ideas go against the natural order when it defies what God had intended. The 16th century nonfictional story of Arnaud du Tilh, also known as Pansette, in The Return of Martin Guerre employs the ideas of hybridity and metamorphosis in its focus on the positive concept of Early Modern self fashioning. Arnaud du Tilh constructs his new identity through hybridity and metamorphosis, his self fashioning became virtuous when he entered the role as a husband, based on Perkin's Christian Economy, to Bertrande de Rols filling a vacancy which Martin Guerre abandoned. Arnaud was fraudulent when he stole Martin's identity out of self intent, but through his metamorphosis into a better Martin Guerre reflects a moral, religious and personal conversion which places him in society with in the divine order.
