Assigment #1: Victorian Literature
1.Which 2 readings did you complete from the reading list provided (or from your own selections)?
- I read A Dangerous Man and Hearts of Darkness
2.Based on these readings, compare (3 examples) and contrast (3 examples) the works you read with themes from the ppt presentations given in class on Victorian Culture and Literature.
A Dangerous Man is very interesting production, because it shows things such as racism, politics, homosexuality and homages which occurred during difficult times after World War I, like in the Victorian era. The film is more overtly political than its predecessor, but also tries to further explore Lawrence's enigmatic personality.
Hearts and darkness talks about light and darkness of the struggle of god and it refer to Africa in the Victorian era with the attributes of darkness to Africans by the British, and it explores the issues surrounding imperialism in complicated ways on the other hand, is open about the fact that he does not trade but rather takes ivory by force, and he describes his own treatment of the natives with the words suppression and extermination it does not hide the fact that he rules through violence and intimidation.
3.Do you feel that the works you read are very good or excellent representations of Victorian Literature? Why/Why Not?
I think these are good representations because the writers showed different things such as politics, society, money and various mysteries which were not treated freely within people, because they were trying to hide things as much as possible.
4.Would you recommend the readings to friends or family? Why/ Why Not?
On the one hand I would not recommend these stories to you because there are many deaths, but on the other hand yes, because there are also interesting and entertaining things that people might like to read

A Dangerous Man is actually from the Modernist period, but that's ok. Your analysis was good. Where did you find a DVD copy of a Dangerous Man?
