Great Questions

[David Ojeda]

Pride and Prejudice is set in the Regency Era (1810-1820), and Late Spring, I believe, is 1949. I think I would have the students explore specific years between these films and analyze female representation in film, paintings, and so forth. The latter would be part of an introductory week to both the narratives. Like Dr. Yasar, I would present students with documents pertaining to the historical context of the narrative and the film to see how author and director provide commentary and have the students discuss the Eastern and Western representation (e.g. similarities and differences). I think this would work best in a high school setting.
