For this project, I have decided to analyze the novels through a Feminist/Gender lens. I made this decision for multiple reasons. The first is my own personal interest in studying gender in society. The value that society places on gender, specifically on the male gender, while unequal is interesting and looking at a text while considering those values even more. Second, my decision to analyze through a Feminist lens springs from my familiarity with it. I completed the playlist for Critical Lens during the Drama Reinterpretation project, so my reinterpretation of the play and Director’s Notes were written through a feminist lens, discussing how changing the gender of a character changes the language and relationships are around them. I really enjoyed that project and looking at gender within Hamlet, so I hope that this project will be just as enjoyable. I chose this lens over other lenses that interested me, such as the psychoanalytic and race/culture lenses, because of my familiarity with it, which will hopefully allow me to write the best I can.
