Writing About Literature
There are many ways to approach such an assignment. You might have a question
about a particular poem or story and wish to see if you can work that question out by
looking at the work through a particular theoretical lens. Or, you may prefer to think
about a specific theoretical concept and then re-read a work with that concept in mind.
The point of the assignment is for you to see a work in a new way using a theoretical
perspective different from the one you might ordinarily use. What do you see in this work
through this theoretical lens and, of course, why?
I understand this a different kind of essay for many of you. Please, please come
see me or email me at any time if you are running into problems, having questions, or
simply want to run your ideas past me. Have some fun with it.
