How to Read Literature Like a Professor interlude-22

Interlude-- Even though literature includes multiple different hidden details such as symbolization and irony, there is only one story. Also, any piece of writing is always connected to other writing. You can always make a connection between two different stories or maybe two different elements within the story.

Chapter 21--Multiple characters will contain scars, and these can be either physical or emotional. This represents hardships and damage that the character has gone through. Monsters are a wonderful representation of scars. A few movies that I referred to were Shrek and Beauty and the Beast, where the characters are not very beautiful on the outside but contain an exceptional personality.

Chapter 22-- This chapter discusses blindness. Blindness can typically exhibit failure to see reality. Usually when the author introduces blindness, they do it for an emotional effect over physical.  "If you want your audience to know something important about your character, introduce it early, before you need it." This implies that introducing a detail towards the beginning of the story will make the reader think it has high importance throughout the rest of the story.
