Thesis D3 Part 1

I have to acknowledge here, as I will in the actual thesis, the work of Jon, Katy, Nadja, Jade and innocentsmith in helping me work through bits of this essay. The current state is choppy as fuck, and I haven't had time to make all of Jon and Nadja's smaller revisions yet as I was mostly interested in getting the structure hammered together, but I can do, now that I'm posting. My friends are fucking invaluable and brilliant.

I'm still plugging in footnotes and seeking/plugging in quotes, but this is D3 of the paper due at the end of next Friday. I'm still open for MAJOR revisions, but problematically, even w/out the quotes and footnotes all in place, it's already 2,000 over, so I'm going to have to majorly shave flab to win the ability to squeeze in anymore points. Already a long discussion of how stupid anti-Stratfordians sound and the X-Men films' discussion of 'mutant' status as homosexuality have been ditched, not to mention an illustrative point about the Eight audio "Living Legend" and the Eleven episode "The Lodger".

I figure I'll accommodate any comments form y'all, the quotes and footnotes, maybe some prose tidying from Katy, and the PhD student's comments when she gets back to me, and have D4 up in a few days, in time for Katy and the Intarwebz to vet it before it goes to my supervisor for a check (so D5 and D6/Final, I guess).
