I chose to do Psychoanalytical Lens because I would like to have an idea of what the true intentions of the characters, whether its bad or good. I want to be able to go deeper into what the characters inner thought are and what they feel in the book. By reading A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer it covers this lens because it shows how the mother would play “games” with him and would make Dave starve and she brutally abuse him. This book makes one think Why would she do that? What was going through her mind? Something that we question in life is how do people see their parents in a different way. How can you love your father/mother more than what you should actually feel for them? Another Lens that I would consider is Feminist Lens because i would like to see the perspective of both genders. I would like to understand their point of view.
This blog post was interesting, in that it defines the contrast between the characters: the "good side" and the "bad side". It was interesting that you compared Beloved and "A Child Called 'It'" and it's Psychoanalytical Lens, and relating it to bigger themes. One question I have is, how will/does the concept of favoritism play into these books? What influences the parents' favoritism, of one child over another?
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how you compared two different books and the lens. It is also interesting on the question brought up when reading it through your lens.
