Drama Through a Critical Lens Monday Standards 2. Reading for All Purposes 1. Literary criticism of complex texts requires the use of analysis, interpretive, and evaluative strategies Objective: to analyze the drama Death of a Salesman through the 5 critical lenses we’ve studied: archetypal, historical/biographical, feminist, Marxist, and psychoanalytical. Relevance: By interpreting complex texts, providing evidence, and communicating ideas, we are not only practicing the skills need in any workplace or postsecondary setting, but also we are examining aspects of ourselves and others and how these as well as social and historical events impact the way in which we communicate. By learning to examine situations from different perspectives, we open ourselves to recognizing, understanding, explaining, and judging the ways in which we, as well as others, conduct ourselves, in order to more productively function in an every changing world. Inquiry Questions: What strategies are most useful when reading, understanding, making personal connections to, and analyzing texts ? What is critical theory? What do we ask ourselves when viewing a text through different lenses? How does one’s perspective influence the reading of a text? How does reading from a particular perspective influence what is seen as important within a text and how characters, events, and theme are understood? How is literature a voice of social commentary?

Activity: Develop & Apply You Do Tuesday Purpose: to identify the parts of a literary analysis essay Tasks: Identify and Discuss Introductory Paragraph Hook/Lead-in: Often writers use a well-known quote, an interesting statement or fact, an anecdote, or a universal truth to hook their readers. Narrow Focus: provide background information on subject including author background, summary of play, and/or definitions of lenses Thesis Statement: subject (title, author, text type), assertion about main idea/theme of the work (use an action verb), any key terms related to the prompt (the three lenses) – see next 2 slides Outcome: Using your outline, write your introductory paragraph using complete sentences and transitions.

Activity: Develop & Apply You Do Tuesday Remember.. Your paper must address a theme or themes Definition of Theme/Definition of Universal Theme The theme of a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. In order to figure out theme, a reader must ask what view of life a work supports or what insight into life in the real world it reveals. Frequently, a work of fiction implies a few ideas about the nature of all men and women or about the relationship of human beings to each other or to the universe. These are called universal themes.

Getting Started on the Draft Write your thesis statement When analyzing the short story “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, through a psychoanalytical lens, a Marxist lens, and a feminist lens, the reader can see how behaviors are often influenced by societal structures. Analyzing Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein through feminist, archetypal, and psychological lenses will help the audience better understand the destructive bond revenge can forge and to further explore human conflicts with their inner desires and fears. Use this to guide your body paragraphs. Consider… What is the effect on the reader? On the theme/message of the play?

Look at some model body paragraphs Feminist Archetypal Hist/Bio Psychological

Activity: Develop & Apply You Do Tuesday Purpose: to identify the parts of body paragraphs in a literary analysis essay Tasks: Identify and Discuss Body Paragraphs Topic sentence/Point 1 (identify subject, assertion) Transition into first illustration/example (quoted piece of text or paraphrase) Explanation of how the example should be understood through the particular lens – what does it reveal or show in response to essential questions asked by this lens Elaboration that connects example to theme/main idea Transition to next illustration/example (quoted piece of text or paraphrase) Explanation of how the example should be understood through the particular lens – what does it reveal or show in response to essential questions asked by this lens Elaboration that connects example to theme/main idea Concluding sentence (link the two text examples together, connect to theme/main idea) Outcome: Using your outline, write your body paragraphs using complete sentences and transitions.
