Write a formal paper (800 words, minimum) to compare and contrast one of the assigned works of drama (by Glaspell, Beckett, Sophocles, OR Ibsen) and your choice of one other work in the arts and humanities (visual art, music, or a literary work that appears in Pike and Acosta’s [2014] textbook Literature ).
Choose two works that address a similar subject (See list of possible subjects addressed in the assigned dramas, below). Explain why you think the topic/subject is important to the playwright and the other author/artist/musician. But also address differences: As you interpret, how does each work provide similar or different perspectives, themes, messages, or context for the topic/subject? Using APA Style, cite the name(s) of author and report the year (Let’s just use “2014” for the drama in Pike and Acosta’s book) in every paragraph in which you summarize ideas/events or quote words from the chosen works. Your paper should try to use your own ideas only because you’ll get a chance in “Part 2” to draw comparisons and contrasts with one other published source’s “interpretation” in the Video Presentation Using GoReact). Of course, if you consult other sources and end up using their ideas in your paper, you must be sure to cite these sources properly using APA Style-Ask the instructor questions if needed. Remember, if you select a second work of poetry, drama, fiction, or essay, this work of literature must appear in Pike and Acosta’s textbook, Literature: A World of Writing (2014). You’ll be selecting one of the four listed dramas below, so here are some dominant topics in each one:
The post Title: Perspectives on Gender Roles in “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell and “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Gender roles have been a prominent topic in literature and the arts for centuries, reflecting the societal expectations and appeared first on Brisk Writers.
