Hello!
My name is Mia and I came to the extension 1 lecture yesterday at UTS!
This year my prescribed texts are Frankenstein, Waiting for Godot and some Seamus Heaney poems (won't be using them though) and I was wondering if you had any good related texts to use for the first two.
I am obsessed with Jane Austen and romanticism and I was hoping you would be able to tell me if any of her books or the Bronte sisters' books would be helpful.
Hey, Mia!
Welcome to the forums
Austen would be a nice pairing with
Frankenstein especially if you're thinking of applying feminist theory. I'm just a bit iffy with Austen since her literary worlds are more mundane and less "upheavally" (though she is a fantastic author)! Emily Bronte's
Wuthering Heights would make a good related text if you wanted to use one of the sisters' novels
Here are some other suggestions that I previously gave to WOH peeps. Hope this helps and let me know what you end up choosing!
