  1. Warm Up: Analyze this painting by finding the archetypes. What do the archetypes reveal about the message? Senior English Unit Four: Hamlet and Critical Schools • Agenda: • Warm Up March 26, 2014 • Objectives • Students will gain a basic understanding of the feministcritical lenses and be able to begin analyzing text through that lens • Homework: Position Paper (final) due Monday, March 31st.

  2. Poster • In the center, write the Title and your interpretation of the story. • Around the center, identify and draw three archetypes found in “The Lottery” • Write an explanation: • Complete sentences • Explains meaning of archetype • Connects meaning to interpretation, showing how archetype is used to create message

  3. Interpretation… • What archetypes?

  4. “Feminist criticism is not, as TorilMoi has observed, ‘just another interesting critical approach’ like ‘a concern for sea-imagery or metaphors of war in medieval poetry’. It does represent one of the most important social, economic, and aesthetic revolutions of modern times.”

  5. The Invisible Knapsack

  6. The Invisible Knapsack • What issue did this activity make clear? • The words “feminism”, “feminist” have negative overtones to them. Why and why is this a problem? What is feminism? • Why would feminism need it’s own critical school to advocate for their rights when it comes to literature and “texts”? What purpose do you think it will serve?

  7. Feminist Criticism • The feminist critical approach holds that most of our literature presents a masculine-patriarchal (phalocentric) view in which the role of women is negated or at best minimized.

  8. Feminist Criticism • As an addition to the feminist movement in politics, the feminist critique of literature seeks to raise the consciousness about the importance and unique nature of women in literature, and to point out how language has been used to marginalize women.

  9. Feminist Criticism • Stimulate the creation of a critical landscape that reflects a balanced view of the nature and value of women • Urge transformation in the language to eliminate inequities and inequalities that result from linguistic distortions such as mankind (rather than humanity).

  10. The Lottery Discussion • How is the relationship between men and women portrayed? • How are male and female roles defined? • How is society stratified? What is the hierarchy and a woman’s place in that hierarchy? • How successful do you think someone would be in fighting against a patriarchal structure in this society?

  11. Children’s Book Report Card • Choose a children’s book • Analyze it using the guiding questions • What grade would you give it?
