Description: |
This course will consider the questions of insanity and, in most cases, evil in five North American works of fiction: The novels Moby-Dick, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and No Country For Old Men, plus the ghost-story novella The Turn of the Screw and the Alzheimer’s short story “The Bear Came Over The Mountain.”
Each week we will cover a work of fiction, then view the film that resulted; in addition to the previously mentioned themes, we will explore literary categories and techniques, plus film techniques and adaptation theory. |
