You had day 1 of 2 to work on your paper:
Often, literature has an indirect impact on pop culture. Shakespeare is of course of no
exception. The film She’s the Man borrows more than small doses of the story from The 12th Night. In fact, one could argue that the movie
succeeds strictly as a direct parody of the play itself.
In a well written 5 paragraph essay, I would like you to
answer the following questions: Does the
movie She’s the Man successfully
parody the play The 12th Night? While the tendency will be to answer yes, I
would also encourage those to voice disagreement. Please examine not just the names, but more
importantly, the function of the relationships in both stories. Does the film require the play to fully enjoy
the story? Please have a clear thesis,
and make sure to back this up with direct examples from both.
Review Game Friday- Test Monday.
