Now that you have taken notes on Module 2, Lecture 1, you are familiar with several important questions that we can ask when interpreting literary art. I will list them below in abbreviated form as a reminder.
Overall Interpretive methods
1. Can the characters, events, or objects in the work be seen as standing for abstract ideas? What ideas?
2. Can the characters, events, or objects in the work be seen as representing political points of view?
3. Can the characters, events, or objects be seen as representing frequently occurring people or things?
4. Can the characters or events in the story be seen as representing different aspects of a single person?
5. Can the struggle of the main character be seen as a struggle that all humans face
