Hopefully as you're reading Earnest and A Doll's House, you're starting to recognize and consider the intersections between these two works and The Age of Innocence. Keep your eyes out for what you see as similarities and differences in theme and conflict. We'll finish Earnest in class on Monday. On Tues, A Doll's House is due. We'll use Wed to talk about Victorian Literature. On Thurs & Fri you'll have some time for discussing A Doll's House in more detail, using our dramaturgy students as experts. Last week of marking period 1--your senior year is 1/4 over! Can you believe it? Are you remembering to have fun?!
