What exactly are we evaluating????
Right now we're evaluating Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation (2013) of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby in class.
How do we feel about the movie? Does it match our interpretation of the novel? What we we think about the way that Baz Luhrmann sees the novel? What is unique about his interpretation? What did it add to or take away from our understanding of the novel?
Eventually we're going to evaluate the literary theories we learned. Each of them (historical, psychological, Marxist, Gender/Feminist, post-colonial) are lenses through which we see the world. To what extent does each lens help us understand a text better? How useful is the lens? What does it allow us to do? Are some lenses more useful than others?
