Literature Standard: Determine the themes of a text and analyze their development Theme of “The Overcoat”: A material possession can be part of a person’s identity Symbol: read page921

Literature Book page 920 Gogol suffered from….most of his life Gogol had a sense….. In his writing Many of his works contain elements of … He is regarded as the founder of…

“The Overcoat” Book, page 922 – Observations: Note the author “digresses.” This is part of his humor – The name Shoenik is meant to symbolize the clerk’s character: easily walked or stepped on – Questions: Describe his appearance – Where is he employed? – How did he get his name?

“The Overcoat” Page 923 Observations: Prior to carbon paper or photocopiers, people had to copy by hand. This is the clerk’s job. Questions: How is he regarded at work?

“The Overcoat” Page 924 Observations: This page has the first mention of the coat. Called a frock here, a nineteenth century term for double breasted coat. Questions: What do his co-workers suggest about his land lady? What causes people to band together to pick on other people? How is he bullied? How does he react? Does anyone see the wrong in it? How does the clerk react to being promoted?

“The Overcoat” Page 925 Observations: Akaky’s interest in the letters addressed to important personages foreshadows a role that an important person will play later in his life. What did Akaky do in his spare time as opposed to other copy clerks? In Petersburg, what is the enemy? What is revealed by the fact that people’s overcoats are “threadbare”?

“The Overcoat” Page 926 Observations: “…but since it has become a fashion to give a thorough description…” He is poking fun at literary conventions – The toenail! Gross! May be a symbol of a Devil’s hoof.

“The Overcoat” Page 927 Author pokes fun at Germans. Stereotype? Based on the first few paragraphs, how does the author create a sense of impending doom? Based on what has already been said about the overcoat, and now knowing this tailor has mended it in the past, do you think he is a good tailor?

“The Overcoat” Page 928 Observation: It is important to keep in mind the cultural context of the story. In this society, it is impossible to simply go into a story and buy an overcoat. One must hire a tailor to create one from scratch. Why was Akaky thinking he would have better luck with the tailor on Sunday morning? Did he?
