Out of the questions below, choose 2 of the following questions to answer.  Be sure to fully develop each response.  Each one is worth 5 points.  Please note which question you are answering. (100-200 words suggested) Choose a specific element (character, scene, event) in both Austen’s original and McDermid’s adaptation of Northanger Abbey. Compare and contrast the element.  Did McDermid make any changes?  Why do you think she made the decisions she did?  Be specific.  We discussed how Austen is known for her social commentary. We also saw examples of this in Eligible.  Do you think McDermid is providing any social commentary?  If so, provide examples.  If not, why do you think she chose not to do so? Austen was writing during the time now known as the Romantic Era. In what ways is she representative of this era?  Provide examples.  Are there any ways she doesn’t fit this time?  You may include examples from any of Austen’s work you are familiar with. We discussed that Northanger Abbey is Austen’s parody of a gothic novel. What are the characteristics of a parody?  What are examples of those in Northanger Abbey? We spent a whole semester focused mainly on Jane Austen. What did you learn about her that you find significant? What did you learn that you can apply to your future understanding of literature?  You may include examples from either of the novels we read or additional information about Austen. We read not only two examples of classic literature, but also modern adaptations of those works. Why does someone choose to adapt a classic novel (or any work)?  In what ways did reading adaptations add to your understanding of the originals?  Is there any downside to reading adaptations? You may include examples from either adaptation we read.
