6.  Eg:  Creature develops affection for De Laceys  P115  “When they were unhappy, I felt depressed; when they rejoiced, I sympathised in their joys”  Cross ref: Letter 2, p19  Natural and admirable inclination to empathise; echos Walton’s letter in vocab and balanced sentences - “they” and “I” = evenness.

7.  Safie’s lessons from her mother  Pp126-7  Mother had taught her freedom, religion, aspiration to “higher powers of intellect and independence of spirit forbidden to the female followers of Mahomet”; had also died.  Admiration of independence and intelligence in women and also rising above cultural mores.

12.  Deckard sits at piano and dreams of unicorn  40:30 – 41:30  LS of room pans left to Deckard in foreground, slouched on piano stool, playing one note repeatedly: symbolic of stagnation and frustration? Manuscript and faded sepia photographs, supposedly of family, on music stand suggest value of the arts and connection through relationships. Dissolve to unicorn galloping in slow motion (romanticised) towards the responder, shaking its head  freedom? : immediacy, call to join. Music: nondiagetic, choral – implication of religious music.  Frustration; desire for freedom; longing to trust photographs – desire for proof of personal history to make sense of the present.

13.  Please hand in a document containing notes on your 15 passages on Monday morning – in class.
