Midterm Prompt: In addition to the literature we have read this semester, you have also been reading and learning about Literary Criticism and the different types that exist. So far you have been asked to read about Feminist Criticism, Psychoanalytic Criticism, Reader Response Criticism, Marxist Criticism, Deconstruction Criticism and New Historicism. Each type asks the reader to view and think about literature in different ways.
Midterm Directions: In a 2 page discussion, explain which type of literary criticism works best for you. In doing so, discuss the aspects of it that you appreciate. Be sure to explain how it has affected the way you have interpreted some of the literature we have read thus far. To help you in this process, I urge you to visit the following website: http://www.textetc.com/criticism.html TEXTETC.com explores the different methods of interpreting literature. Have fun with this assignment.
From the List of stories on our course reading schedule, choose one and analyze it in terms of theme and the authors use of the elements of fiction in order to convey that theme. Possible literary elements you will explore are: plot (end orientation, foreshadowing, elements of plot), irony, setting, symbolism, characterization (methods of characterization, round/flat, static/dynamic, tragic flaw), or point of view (first/third, major/minor, omniscient/limited omniscient/objective, reliable/unreliable). You may include secondary sources of literary criticism to help you with your essay. This essay should also be about 3 pages in length.
Tips:
Do not summarize the story and then give your opinion of it. Support a thesis: shared theme & the use of the elements of lit. to convey it.
Do not use the first person pronoun I anywhere in your paper.
Although you are exploring the elements, dont use the words element or theme in your analysis. In place of these words, use the actual theme and element.
Ex: Poe further underscores the narrators denial of reality1 with the image of an eye (I)2 with a film over it.
