This class has taught me much about the different theories for literature and even movies. I did start out with some knowledge of a few theories from Persuasive Strategies, this class went in more depth with them.
Marxism has always been my favorite, but probably because it's been the easiest to understand, however Psychoanalytic has always been interesting with the desire factor.
The theory that surprised me most was the Feminist theory. What I had previously thought about the theory was the stereotypes. But as I learned more about the theory, I agreed with it more, and now I feel very strongly about it. I think that literature needs to be picked apart using theories to determine what's actually going on behind the words.
Also, going back to the first article we read in the class about reading deep into literature or not, the class just proved that we should and ought to because there can never be just one meaning.
