Blog Post #1- Psychoanalytical Lenses: Why I'm Interested

For this project, I decided to focus on the psychoanalytic lens. This lens interests me because it deals with getting into the head of the character as well as the author and determining any similarities or differences between the two. It will be interesting to see if the authors beliefs and values show up in the way the characters talks or acts towards certain situations. Although I will be reading through the psychoanalytic lens, the feminist lens was another lens I considered for this project. The role of women has dramatically changed throughout history and it would be cool seeing it play out in the stories we read. What I am hoping to get out of this literature project is that I will be able to discover the differences between the two books on how the authors portrayed themselves through the characters while also enjoying the stories.
