LIT-117 Interpretation and Self-Knowledge

Interpretation and Self-Knowledge: "Till this moment I never knew myself" In this section, we will look at texts in which characters work to interpret the world in which they live and come to some self-understanding in the process. Reading their stories, we too will face questions of interpretation as we try to make sense of the fictional worlds before us. Texts include Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Dickens’s Great Expectations; a play by Suzan Lori Parks; stories by writers such as Chaucer, Wharton, and Banerjee; and a selection of poems.
