I would have an opening with a strong claim/thesis or whatever, give a brief history of existentialism, give a little bio on kierkegaard, then go into his philosophy extensively.

you should get a board and map his his philosophies/key points in chronological order to see if you notice a change/progression.

tbh, writing 20 pages on him would be pretty easy.

This OP, he's written so much and each page of his is crammed with ideas.
The Concept of Irony
Fear and Trembling
The Concept of Anxiety
The Sickness Unto Death
Philosophical Fragments
Concluding Unscientific Postscript
Either/Or
Even just reading a summary of each would give you enough material for like 35 pages.

I love caricatures of philosophers they are so damn funny.
Kierkegaard with his big ass head, looking like a true dane brimming with that infuriatingly valiant smugness of his.

Stirner just standing there uncomfortably with one hand on the table, smoking a cigar watching something unfold (who knows what) looking somewhat angry yet intrigued.
But the fucking chair gets me every time.

Shit on what a whiny pedophile (ephebophile, whatever) he was for 2 pages. That's what I did for my final.

this is what. The sketch is made by no one other than Friedrich Engels, and is supposed to depict a meeting of young Hegelians. Everybody but Stirner in the pic are obscure as hell. I tried to look them up, but only one of them had been translated out of German

Get info on him, his works are quite autobiographical. Make a comparison to Socrates. Also read the bible. Make an extensive point of his use of perspectivism and choice of medium (contrast with Hegel). Read Either/Or, concept of Irony and Fear and Trembling. That should be enough...
