Long Essay Idea

Hey

So for second year, we have an option of doing a long essay (like a practice dissertation), and I'm a bit unsure if my idea sounds feasible.

I was considering covering how Terence portrays women in his plays, because he was a slave and it's interesting that his works have survived yet there are incredibly few women's writings. Does this sound alright?

I only read Terence a few years ago, and I'm afraid I don't know enough to do this. I'm worried because once we have submitted our idea, there is no turning back, and I don't want to be stuck doing something there is nothing to write about. I've read the companion to Terence, and there is information there saying there isn't much written about Terence's portrayal of women, so I'm just wondering how good this idea is?
