ENGB04H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: List Of True Blood Characters, Pimple, Body Language
Document Summary
Lec 7: constructing with deliberate gaps, 20th century to 21st century. No clear objective way, and characters may have conflicted ways of interpretation. Indirect discourse and direct discourse also occurring: gossip: gendered way of showing how women talk, lawyer"s word counts highly, therefore hierarchy in speech due to gender, education, authority. Issues of mediating different accounts: fictional text that is part of the fiction of the story- italicized beginning. Telling a narrative and may have a sense that something is going to go wrong. Right after there is direct discourse that foreshadows. Recorded account of what frances said: gives insight into her personality, oh, it"ll stop then it would"ve been a whole other story . Counterfactual: creates distance/gap, maureen"s recollections of her youth, authority/hierarchal flow of how each character speaks. Titles indicate the way that they view each other: wonderful mary johnstone: name is mocking-survived polio, very independent, assertive, double-meaning, missus stevens: describes maureen, double-meaning, used to be maureen holder.
