ENG101H5 Lecture 8: :Critical approaches II
Document Summary
You don"t need formalized lenses to read literature critically. Psychoanalysis: highlights: uncover the unconscious of the character/ writer/ reader, pays special attention to the family dynamics. What is feminism: equal rights for both men and women, promote gender equality . It is hard to separate from ourselves who we are: gender is not something that you are but something you do: gender is something that you do and not who you are. People love antigone; partly a play about ideas and principles. Creon: i want friendship truer than blood itself. Butler is intrigued by this kind of ideas. Antigone is unmanning him and becoming herself like a man. Ismene: mainly submissive, going along with the stronger power. Antigone and ismene haven taken the place of real biological sons. Antigone already takes the place of the man. When she breaks up with ismene then she takes up the place of her brother.
