To put it simply, through Oldroyd (visual) and Birch (rhetorical) decisions and changes what do the authors wish to say and are they successful in doing so? Consider: what drives Katherine? Is she sympathetic? What power dynamics does the film criticize? How does the film reject typical representations of the male and female genders?
In doing so, I would like you to build off of the following sources:
Primary Sources
Required: Nikolai Leskovs Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (1865) [at
least two close-reading moments from two respective chapters]
Required: William Oldroyd (Director) and Alice Birchs (screenwriter) Lady
Macbeth [at least two scenes from the film]
Format
4-6 pages typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman font. 1-inch margins. Microsoft word files only. Provide proper MLA internal citation.
