13. Literary analysis and response

14. literary analysis: Example of a foil character: “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” Ursula LeGuin Main character: ? Foil: ? >>no real characters in this story, though can argue that the fluteplayer/ musician boy contrasts with the wretched child, or “those who stay” in Omelas contrasts with “the ones who walk away”– but not in a traditional sense “I Want to Work” Sherwood Anderson Main character: workman Foil: the narrator Why?: narrator’s more comfortable social position (as a reporter? Not clear what he does) is contrasted to workman, whose life is precarious and yet he is actively searching out knowledge to better understand his world and situation – it is practical and useful not vicarious entertainment

15. literary analysis: Example of a foil character: Shakespeare in Love directed by John Madden Main character: Will (Shakespeare) Foil: Henslow Though he is not a sidekick exactly – he starts as a bad guy then turns into a “good guy” but not as handsome and gentle hearted as Will. He plays a comic role that supports the main storyline and helps the lovers in the end.

16. literary analysis: Example of a foil character: Animal Farm by George Orwell Main character: Boxer the horse (as a positive but tragic heroic figure) Foil: Benjamin (the mule) Benjamin is contrasted with Boxer at beginning – mule (stubborn, pessimistic, tough, antisocial, solitary, but long living) versus Boxer – strong, vibrant, sociable, likeable, but ultimately fragile and duped by Napoleon and the ideals of the rebellion. Benjamin survives and remembers everything – is never duped, but can not foment any type of resistance to Napoleon or the pigs because of his solitary nature (mules are also sterile and cannot reproduce – thus his resistance cannot even produce future rebels).

17. literary analysis: Example of a foil character: Fables, Vol. 2 – Animal Farm by Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, and Steve Leialoha Main character: Snow White Foil: Rose Red Rose Red is contrasted (as in the original fairy tale) with Snow White – she is the younger sister: tough, rebellious, irresponsible, selfish, red headed and hot tempered. Though she is strong, vibrant, sexy, and likeable. Their rivalry forms the plot of the story. Rose as a foil can also be seen as ironic – given that though her sister is the traditional “hero” and plays “by the book” Snow is rather stupid and inept – she doesn’t realize the animal are rebelling; she just barely kills Shere Khan; and in the end she is saved by Rose Red who is strong and heroic throughout. This is addressed in final scene by Rose Red – how the Mundies love and need Snow.

18. literary analysis: Example of: “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” by Ursula LeGuin – wretched child = outcasts, scapegoats, or social evil symbol? a singular image that stands for something else related to the theme of the story Explain why it is important to the theme of the work “Shakespeare in Love” by John Madden – dog in the play = the low standards for plays that were promoted to bring in a larger audience and more $ “I Want to Work” by Sherwood Anderson – Civil War = struggle for worker’s rights Animal Farm by George Orwell - Windmill = technological progress Fables, v.2 – Animal Farm Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha - Colin the Pig’s head on a pole / -Modified arms = technological ability and commitment to rebel against the Adversary

19. Literary analysis: “I Want to Work” Sherwood Anderson –situational: workman has pride in the technology that puts him out of work Example of: Irony? “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” Ursula LeGuin –situational: joy depends on misery when the opposite is meant to what is said or happens Types: Verbal Situational Dramatic Shakespeare in Love John Madden [dir.] –dramatic: Marlowe is more famous than Shakespeare Animal Farm George Orwell –situational: Napoleon is more oppressive than farmer Jones Fables, v.2 – Animal Farm Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha -situational: Red Rose is the true hero – Snow has to be rescuedby her
