"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Nagaina: A Scholarly Comparison."
Stop worrying about the title and just write the essay already; after writing it you should have a better idea of what to call it.
"Jungian Archetypes in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi: the Contrast of Rikki with Nagaina"
I mean, I can sit here and come up with ridiculous titles all day, but seriously, what you want is a title that actually describes your personal essay which you wrote, not a title that may or may not be at all related to the paper.
"Kuntzttrieben and the Uber-Mungo - a Study of Apollonian and Dionysian Themes in the Works of Rudyard Kipling"
Ooh, I like that one. Too bad it probably won't work.
Clash of the 'tators

When writing a compare and contrast essay, the best title is a simple one -- "Comparing X to Y" or "A Comparison of X to Y." You don't need "catchy" titles for academic papers.
If chosen correctly, the title of an essay should reveal the subject matter of the essay.
Well the title of your essay will be the topic that you chose to write about.
Yes because its really catchy for some one to read it. When writing a compare and contrast essay, the best title is a simple one -- "Comparing X to Y" or "A Comparison of X to Y." You don't need "catchy" titles for academic papers.
If you are writing something else and referring to an essay you have written, you would put the title of that essay in quotation marks, but the title at the top of your essay (like the title of any document) should not have quotation marks.

I think you can do an adequate job of selecting the title. One way is to write the outline of the essay then pick a major point or conclusion of the essay and derive a title from that.
yes maybe as a title
I all depends on what your essay is sbout.
