I think your strongest theme is the need to find a bridge between classical and romantic thinking. I like this theme myself and I do agree that this is a large and important part of the novel that should not be overlooked. I know that you will be able to find plentiful supports to write this paper and I think that the idea of using Phaedrus to describe the "bridge" is very wise because as you said he portrays the qualities of both types of thinking.
I agree with Talia that your weakest theme is the one about people never changing, I think that although the argument could be made that the narrator shows the reluctance of people to change their ways, this is not what Pirsig intended. for this reason I think that finding supports for this paper will be harder than for the other three that you have.
