Think about a literary work you have recently read. Choose either the feminist or New Historicism critical theory, and explain your interpretation of the plot or character from the work. How does viewing the plot or character through the chosen perspective affect your interpretation of it

Following are the responses to the given question.

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet were the only other book that I read. I would be a little insulted as a feminist. Shakespeare portrays Juliet as also being essential. She appears clingy, too. Without the need for a guy, I believe that woman might go. She may even flourish under society at large pressure, which tells us why we need a guy. We aren't facts. This changes the way I view it by maybe getting the whole thing closer.

what are the lines. come on!

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
