Process
The first thing you will need to do is determine what type of literary scholar you will be. Do this by clicking on the Resource button and examining the links.
After you have explored and chosen one critical approach, be sure to answer the corresponding questions below the listed links. You should record these answers in your Congo diary.
Then click on the To the docks button. This will take you to the first of five destinations. At each destination, you will read an excerpt from Heart of Darkness and respond on a special message board. Each response must be at least 150 words and be supported by at least two direct quotes from the text.
Most importantly, remember that your goal is to read and react to each passage as a psychoanalytical, post-colonial, reader response, deconstructionist, or feminist critic. Ask yourself, "How would this sort of critic read this passage? What would he or she find important?"
When you are finished with this, visit both the Evaluation and Conclusion sites for some last details.
