Focus on Theme

Goodmorning Scholars,

As you continue your reader responses online, begin to identify themes in the text.

If you are in need of a definition for "theme", check out this link:

You may collaborate with your literary salon members to advance your thinking and read deeply into these novels. If necessary, consult web resources on the matter.

**Remember, you are hoping to create original interpretations (as much as anything can be original), so don't make the mistake of relying too heavily on secondary sources and lofty online critics.**

A NOTE: You do have the option to research the history and impact of the novel in Victorian literature to deepend your contextual comprehension!

Happy blogging!
