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, Nella Larsen's Passing, Dai Sijie's Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, and N. K. Jemison's The Fifth Season; stories by writers such as Edith Wharton and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
