Why I Chose the Psychoanalytical Lens
A. I thought the psychoanalytical lens would be particularly interesting for a variety of reasons. The main reason this topic interested me is that it is looking at the author instead of the writing or time. By looking at the author instead of just looking at obvious interpretations I believe that their are things we can see that the other him or herself might not even see. From my personal experience I have noticed that when me or others write we subconsciously let our personal opinions show even when we are trying to be honest. I wanted to see if the same could be said for the views of an author based on what he or she is writing.
D. Another lens I was thinking of doing was the New Historicism lens. This is because while I personally believe writing is not as slanted as some believe I could see how the higher class would have more of an imprint on literature and it would be interesting to see if that effect could be seen in literature of past times and if it really was as biased as some see it to be.
